Faustino Conde „Flamenca Negra“ 1982 - Exactly such a Faustino Conde was also played by Paco de Lucia!
The Conde Hermanos are not just guitar makers like others, no, they have probably written flamenco history like no other. The three brothers Faustino, Julio and Mariano began building guitars for Domingo Esteso. He was the great master, mastermind and instructor in their early years.
After Esteso's death, the three brothers gradually began to build instruments in their own style. Initially under the name Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso, but in the early 1960s it was not easy to earn a living selling flamenco guitars.
When the young Paco de Lucia finally became aware of Conde in the late 60s at the beginning of the 70s - he had previously played Ramirez - they had created their own type of guitar, with incredibly strong basses and singing trebles - simply brilliant flamenco guitars.
From then on, Paco was almost only seen with Conde, which of course found its imitators due to Paco's popularity. In the old TV recordings from the 70s, there is almost no guitarist who didn't play Conde.
Faustino Conde, the man responsible for the construction of the old Condes, has written flamenco history.
This legend of the Condes has survived to this day.
This guitar was made with the best materials, the finest craftsmanship (by master craftsman Faustino Conde) and the most beautiful details - it is a guitar that is pretty much exactly like Paco de Lucia's guitar.
The top is made of fine spruce wood. The back and sides are made from the best rosewood.
The guitar offers an absolutely furious sound. Just as we know it from the recordings of the masters. It leaves nothing to be desired. Absolutely powerful and dynamic in sound, it is a pleasure for both the player and the listener.
It is well adjusted and gives the feeling that the guitar is playing by itself. Perfect string action, straight neck. The scale length is 662 mm and the nut width is 52 mm.
The guitar is supplied with a hard case.
The guitar is in restored and refinished condition. All work was carried out professionally. Unfortunately, the label is damaged and other parts of the label were lost during the restoration. Fortunately, we had taken a photo of the label before the restoration.
We are therefore offering the guitar at an extremely reduced price!
