elgreco -> Conde Hermanos Primera Blanca 2000 (Sep. 5 2011 1:16:17)
|
2000 Conde Hermanos, Atocha shop, formerly the concert guitar of Mariano Cordoba, hand picked by him from this shop -
his favorite of the Conde shops. He played it for about 6 years then sold it to Don Soledad, long time foro member,
who played it for a few years and sold it to Harry Lynch who sold it to me. You can see him playing it here:

Don informed me that this period was especially good for guitars from the Atocha shop. When he was in Spain, he played the guitar of
Gerardo Nunez's sideman, which is an Atocha Conde from this same period.
It was fantastic, and that's what encouraged him to buy this one. Supposedly Gerardo is now playing an Atocha Conde as well.
Selling it because I want to buy a more expensive guitar.
Specs are 660/52, very low action, less than 3mm on both sides, plays very fast. If I were keeping it, I would raise the action a little.
Comes with a custom fit Ameritage case ordered by Mariano Cordoba. A great instrument for the pro or the dedicated amateur.
Price is a very reasonable $4500 and I am open to a trade.
The guitar is very well made, and lighter in weight than most other modern Condes I've played, which is good.
Fretboard, frets and neck angle are perfect -
Don Soledad had German Rubio dress and level the frets before I bought it, so the
neck is in really good shape and playability is excellent.
There are the normal fingernail marks, as you would expect, but nothing that goes through the finish, and no cracks.
