Hermanos Conde 1990 Paco de Lucia Special Flamenco Guitar – A Masterpiece Inspired by the Maestro Paco de Lucia Himself
The Hermanos Conde 1990 Paco de Lucia Special Flamenco Guitar represents the pinnacle of Spanish lutherie — a rare and masterfully crafted instrument that embodies the spirit, passion, and artistry of flamenco itself. For decades, Hermanos Conde has been one of the most respected names in the world of flamenco guitar making, chosen by icons such as Sabicas, Pepe Habichuela, Tomatito, Niño Josele, Moraito, and of course, Paco de Lucía. For any guitarist who admires Paco’s unmistakable tone, a Conde is far more than an instrument — it’s a direct connection to the heart and history of flamenco.
The legacy of Hermanos Conde traces back to Domingo Esteso, one of Spain’s greatest luthiers. After his passing, his nephews Faustino, Mariano, and Julio Conde continued his craft under the name Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso, developing a distinctive style that would define modern flamenco sound. By the 1960s, their guitars were celebrated for their deep, resonant basses and brilliant, expressive trebles — qualities that captured the ear of the young Paco de Lucía and helped shape the sound of contemporary flamenco.
This Hermanos Conde 1990 Paco de Lucia Special Flamenco Guitar was built as a tribute to the maestro’s personal instrument and features the signatures of Paco de Lucía and the Conde workshop on the label. Constructed with a solid cedar top and rosewood back and sides, it produces a bold and elegant tone — powerful, responsive, and full of color. With a scale length of 664 mm and nut width of 52 mm, the guitar offers superb comfort and control, ideal for fast, expressive flamenco playing. The action at the 12th fret is set at 2.7 mm on the bass E string and 2.1 mm on the treble e string, ensuring effortless playability with clear, articulate projection.
Tonally, this Hermanos Conde 1990 Paco de Lucia Special Flamenco Guitar is outstanding — its attack is crisp and immediate, with shimmering trebles and a commanding, resonant bass. It delivers the fiery energy and rhythmic intensity that define authentic flamenco, yet retains a lyrical warmth and depth that respond beautifully to dynamic playing. Every nuance of touch brings out new layers of character and resonance, making it an inspiring instrument both for performance and private enjoyment.
Despite its age, this 1990 model remains in excellent condition, showing only light traces of use that enhance its authenticity and charm. Its combination of master craftsmanship, historical importance, and connection to Paco de Lucía makes it a truly remarkable instrument — one that embodies the finest traditions of Madrid’s legendary workshop. Whether for a professional performer, passionate enthusiast, or serious collector, the Hermanos Conde 1990 Paco de Lucia Special Flamenco Guitar captures the essence of Spanish guitar making at its highest level — a rare masterpiece that brings the sound and soul of flamenco to life.
