I don't have the tools to take a clear picture of the structure like Orsonw,

Just need a lamp with a bulb small enough to fit through the soundhole. Wait until night then take a photo.

I just use my little clip on book light.

This is my Ariza 1988.

This is the c.1959 green label Pozuelo Conde with the Esteso headstock. I think the top must be quite thick as the light penetration is quite poor. Took a few attempts and enhancement.

Yes. I think it is the best Conde I have ever had. Maybe the 5+2 structure's sound is unique.

This is the video of my guitar.

It looks like Santos after all

. Not really, but congratulations. Is the rosewood Brazil or Indian? Looks like a swirly knot on the back (Brazilian). Also...that is a lot of bunk beds to to have a nice Conde laying around. You trust your roommates? I never brought my dad's nice guitar to school when I lived on Campus dorm. Later I moved off campus and brought his Ramirez to school, only because I had my own room. A lot of guitar students kept instruments in a locker in the music building, and that never made sense to me anyway. I was like the only guy carrying a guitar all over campus.

It is Brasil. They smell very sweet and greasy. But the seller didn't know they are Brasil and he thought they are some rosewoods from South America.

My roommates are very friendly, and they know little about guitar. I think they will not sell my guitar when I'm not at my dormitory.

There are 4 beds in my room. These bunk beds have beds on the upper level and tables and cabinets on the lower level, which is the standard quadruple dormitory configuration in China. One of my roommates lives outside and his desk is a great place to put my guitar.
