Hermanos Conde 1970s Negra Flamenco guitar - exceptional guitar in the style of Domingo Esteso with the typical Paco de Lucía Conde sound

This remarkable Hermanos Conde 1970s Negra Flamenco guitar is a masterpiece crafted in the workshop of Calle Pozuelo de Alarcón and reflects the influence and heritage of Domingo Esteso. With its vintage charm and outstanding playability, it is an instrument of historical significance and musical brilliance.

The history of the Hermanos Conde is inextricably linked to the history of flamenco. Faustino, Julio and Mariano Conde began their careers as guitar makers for the legendary Domingo Esteso, a revered master who guided and trained them. After Esteso's death, the three brothers gradually established themselves under the label „Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso“. In the 1960s, however, it was difficult to make a living from selling flamenco guitars alone - until Paco de Lucía discovered their instruments for himself in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

This collaboration marked a turning point for the Conde brothers. With their powerful basses, singing trebles and unmistakable flamenco character, their guitars gained enormous popularity. Paco de Lucía, one of the most iconic flamenco guitarists in history, became associated with Conde guitars, and their instruments soon dominated the flamenco world, as can be seen in countless recordings and performances of this era.

This Hermanos Conde 1970 Negra Flamenco guitar is a tribute to this golden age of flamenco. It was built in the style of Domingo Esteso and exudes elegance and character. The spruce top provides exceptional clarity, while the pearwood back and sides - a tonewood used alongside rosewood by renowned luthiers such as Conde and Ramirez - add warmth and depth. With a scale length of 650 mm and a nut width of 52 mm, it offers comfort and precision for every playing style.

The sound of this Hermanos Conde 1970 Negra Flamenco guitar is simply impressive. Its powerful, dynamic basses and crystal-clear trebles embody the classic flamenco sound that Paco de Lucía made famous. The vintage sound quality developed over decades gives it an irresistible charm. This guitar inspires both the player and the listener and conveys the fiery passion and elegance of flamenco music.

The guitar is in good condition for its age, with three expertly executed crack repairs to the back. Otherwise, it is completely original and has been carefully cared for so that it has retained its full integrity and tonal brilliance. The neck is straight, the action is perfectly adjusted (action at the 12th fret: 2.7 mm E and 2.1 mm e), and the playability is flawless.

It comes with its original case, which perfectly matches this extraordinary instrument.

For players and collectors alike, this Hermanos Conde 1970s Negra Flamenco guitar offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of flamenco history - a true treasure that embodies the art and tradition of the golden age.
