Hola! I suppose several foromembers have played or owned an AF25 or similar conde negras. I myself only tried blancas from Conde. Like Ricardo said : try before you buy, and if it's impossible as it's the case for most of us, get a return policy, no matter it's a pro or a private seller. My personal opinion is that with big brand names (large scale production), it's very important to have this return policy when you can't try. Too much "so-so" guitars around to take the risk. But it's also clever with a "one-man-operation" builder... If price isn't a concern, you can buy it "new" but with a second-hand one, you can save a LOT of money, and still have a "smooth" transaction. Be careful of the "prices delirum" : there can be braz conde at 9000$ and others at 4000$... In Europe now (don't know where you're located), there are plenty of Conde for sale on the second-hand market. Brazilians are more rare, but there is always one for sale from time to time. Would say a "good price" is around 4000$-5500$ for a braz. one. http://atiza.com/musicos/tablonanuncios/forosrespuestas.asp?MsgId=1109691 or http://www.vioworld-klassik.de/go.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Evioworld%2Dklassik%2Ede%2Fkleinanzeigen%2Frubrik%2Ephp%3Frid%3D24%26startpage%3D5%26biete%5Fsuche%3Db%26r%5Fname%3D (go to page 1) About the good alternatives, it's hard to tell because : - There are many. Reyes, Gerundino, Devoe, Green,...just to speak about the most knowns.. - It's a bit "personal", as Ricardo often says. What type of sound, playability, etc. In my own "guitar quest", I've been able to play a few guitars and realized how much the fame of the brand can be dissocied from the quality of the guitar (with conde and ramirez for a "negative" relation, and with other unknown builders in a positive relation). For sure, the "fame" helps you if you want to sell back your guitar one day... But will still recommand making all that's possible to try every guitar, even from "unknown" or lesser-known builders... And perhaps also you can try contacting foromembers close to you, if there are some.. ¡Buena suerte!

Hola doublekk2 Question is do you know what a Reyes sounds like? They are all different but there is a family resemblance. When we were doing a studio recording recently, the guitarist had a choice of his Reyes, my Gerundino, a Conde blanca and a Conde negra. The record was eventually recorded with the Conde blanca. Neither I, nor the guitarist, nor the recording engineer would say it was the "best" guitar, but it recorded better, when played by this guitarist, than the rest. The complaint about the Reyes was that it recorded like a bandurria when the cejilla was on 5. Played live, to accompany, it is sensational. The advice on this forum is always the same: try before you buy. One man´s meat is another man´s poison. And not all Reyes or Condes or De Voes sound or play the same. Suerte Sean
