INFORMATION
Little is known about the luthier Benito Sanchez de Aguilera from Madrid. The instrument he made in 1797 is strung with six double-chord strings and is very simple. It is unknown whether renovated parts have been reconstructed to the original. In the 18th century, few builders manufactured such a bridge.
The head of the guitar may not be original either, but this cannot be said with certainty. The instrument was built at a time when the guitar was in a transitional phase, both in terms of the number of strings and bracings, as well as the shape and size.
