There are a few Reyes for sale around, and as we have many experts on this forum I´d be interested to know what price tag you would a prior put on a Reyes, for the buy to be considered as reasonable (being aware this of course also depends on the specific conditions of the guitar and that every guitar is unique) For those who can afford a collectable instrument, anywhere from 12,000 to about 18,000 depending on the condition, and from a private owner, about 10,000 to 15,000. An Hijo could sell from anywhere to about 12,000. It seems that the 80's Reyes are some of the best he built; 1986 to 88. And of course this is all speculative to say the least. In today's economy, even the other high quality makers are not selling at break-neck speed.

Seems like I see many players not using their Condes as of late. Vicente was like the only weird kid without a Conde, now guys are using all kinds of guitars - Reyes, Jeromimo Perez, barba or whomever. Maybe for a change of sound I don’t know. Now once again Vicente is being the different guy and playing a Francisco Navarro . A Reyes makes a lot of sense in the hands of Amigo because he has such a distinctive style. I think also that he needed a guitar better fit to support his lyrical way to play, particularly on the trebles ..Tomatito and Antonio Rey just followed Vicente’s track. There are still so many pro-players playing Conde around: Diego del Morao, Chicuelo, Jeronimo Maya, Riqueni, Jesus Guerrero etc. Jeronimo Perez, Pena Vargas and Sanchis at the end of the day are Conde-like guitars. Good guitars, but probably the reason they are so well spread is because they are cheaper than Conde or these makers are more willing to endorse pro-players.
