Well, I'll post it for you ricardo! quote:
Ricardo posted the following message to General on Jan. 26 '10 15:57:10.... ----------- Start of Message ------------- RE: Conde Hermanos guitars were my Religion now im unsure! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Um, this "spam de ruben"should be in classifieds. THen I would have missed it. But sadly it was posted here, and I am in a "mood", and I am a professional player and own condes and "faustino"from 70's, and have played many other makes, and in fact have recently played this Andalusian guitar. So I will give my 2 cents. Appologies in advanced to all involved. Ok, I guess this crazy ruben guy from mexico was harrasing paco so much and gave him one of these "spanish"guitars while paco was living in Mexico. Yeah, Ruben is mexican too. And the guitars, they are CIEN POR CIENTOS MEXICANO. We may never know the maker (sorry anders) Anyway the same guitar design has gone under other names, alluding to spanish build, but address will always be an email address. If I were paco living in mexico, sure its great to get a free beach guitar, but I would eventually need to get a restraining order from police for all the craziness and harrassment. (Imagine if you had a guy like that so in love with you and knows where you live!!!) But that is just me. Ok, so a friend of mine is a pro player too and was given a couple of these babies by Ruben himself. I guess I will keep him anonymous. He is also into building guitars. He felt the guitar was really bad, but since it was free he took a file to the bracing inside and took A LOT of wood out until it had a proper flamenco sound. Then there was the ugly wack job of a head stock. He sawed that off and made a know one that looked more "normal". He installed electronics, and after all the neck design was not right and filed that too. When I played it in December it was very "used", but sounded almost as good as a Sanchis. And that means a lot coming from me. My friend was adamant that it really sounded bad before he worked on it. So it was his throw around gigging guitar that he did not worry much about on the airplane etc. He remembered Ruben cuz he played on stage with him IN mexico, and later was harrassed by him about these darn guitars. (probably not unlike paco). Anyway, as I said with a little work they do sound flamenco, but Sanchis is better IMO. And in mexico there are better makes, perhaps more $ but I don't know what andalusian guitars are going for. The business of using paco as an add, pretending they are spanish build etc, is just bad business IMO. But in the end, a guitar is a guitar and it does not matter the hype until you play it. To mr viking, if you are happy with the instrument and PAID for it, great. If you got it for FREE (my guess based on your delivery) then just do your advertising in the classifieds section and leave it at that. The guitars will do the rest in terms of reputation if they are really getting better quality then the one I played. Ricardo
