Jesus de Jimenez or Mariano Conde

Hi guys. I am here to ask a question about guitars.

I have a Jesus de Jimenez 2016 first period. I think it is great. Crispy sound and easy to play. But I am interested in Mariano Conde A28(Blanca) or AF27(Negra). There are only few videos on Youtube, and I don't know the real sound of Mariano Conde. I want to know if Mariano Conde is worthy for me to sell my Jesus to get it.

I would not. However, Felipe CRESPO Conde is excellent.

Oh I know some guitarists use Felipe Conde Jr, such as Benito Bernal, Pepe Fernandez. I think so. The price of MC a28 is 7260 Euro. Is FC Jr more expensive?

Yes…but no comparison for the price difference, FCjr is orders of magnitude better IMO. If you want to keep it under 7k, try used guitars like old Conde/Sobrinos from the 70s or older. Tons of options.

I got you. Thank you for help. I will go to their shops and try to select a guitar I like if I visit Madrid. Maybe I will buy a used FCjr or MC if I find a good one.
