Xavi -> RE: Richard Brune Playing 1985 Conde (Oct. 11 2013 16:16:50)

Richard Brune's photos of the two labels in this guitar are included at the end of my video. Earlier this year I attempted to collect some additional backstory about this guitar and wrote to David at Conde. I received instead a reply from Felipe that said: "...David forwarded this email to me and I preferred to send you a personal response...It was one of the special models we have constructed using a special and select wood stock personally constructed between my father, my brother and myself. This guitar is signed by my father on the main label and additionally by myself, my bother and again my father on the smaller label below. This model is a fruit of a collaborative construction process that was always a tradition in our workshop. I hope you enjoy this guitar! Please let me know if you need anything else. Regards, Felipe Conde Cavia" I appreciated Felipe responding to my inquiry. In the end, the guitar sounds great, and Brune confirmed that the interior work was "exceptionally clean and well executed." I believe that this guitar was the result of this collaborative process between father and sons, at a critical time in the Conde history, just as the torch was being passed, to RobJe's point. It makes for an interesting story. [:D]
