Hi Ricardo Most aficionados rate a guitar only by its sound. Professionals have another point of view. Then, of course there is subjectivity. I am no professional, but i have played and worked on a lot of guitars: Recio, José Ramírez, Manuel Ramírez, Santos, Melero, Valeriano Bernal, Rafael Bernal, Jerónimo Pérez, Gerundino, Rodríguez, Barba, Andrés Domínguez, Carillo, Conde, Reyes, Reyes Hijo, Montero, Jerónimo Peña, De Voe, Andalucían, Alhambra, José Vilaplana, Admira, José Romero, Contreras, Bernabé, Ruck, Rafael Romero, Rafael López, Pedro de Miguel, Díaz, Bellido, Marvi, Lowden. Talking about the best example (usually I have played several of each maker) the ones that stand out for sound and playability are Rodriguez, Barba, Gerundino and De Voe. I have never played a Reyes that sounded as good as my Gerundino (subjective [:)]) I have never played a Conde which sounded as good as a Reyes[:D]( more subjective). I have never played a worse guitar for the money than Andalucían. One day I hope to play a Barbero and an Arcángel. But we all know (I hope) that a great guitarist can make any guitar sound good: in the meantime, I am happy with my Gerundino and you are happy with your Condes. The world is in order[;)]
