The pattern seems very similar to an older style Conde, pre-1970.

Only the fan braces are thinner and a little higher than Conde.

Thank you Tom.
I am working on designing a new guitar body shape and dimensions with a new sound in mind. I am researching some luthiers , the best one i found so far is Barba;s guitar sound . i found Luis F. Leal Pinar web page was mentioned to me by Ricardo . i emailed a request to him and got a respond from the daughter saying she will check with his father and get back to me . I will share it as soon as i get any info.

That bracing pattern is the same as the pattern used with my 81 Conde and many Condes up to 88 or so.
I saw older Condes with thicker tops and a 5+2 Barbero like pattern (clear pictures of the inside can be seen is Richard Bruné’s website).
Coming back to Barba, in the last years he replaced the central strut with a flatter/larger one and added a strut more per side (9+2).
I’m sure here in Foro flamenco Vince posted a detailed video of the guitar’s inside but now the Dropbox link is corrupted.
It’s a good idea to send him a PM and ask him if he still has it.
