Hi all, Do not where to post it and as in my inner circle of real life friends, nobody cares about playing an instrument, you just have to sit through this :-) I had an amazing experience at www.vintage-guitar-world.com I was in the area and decided to have a look. Turns out it is not really a shop but predominantly an internet shop. So we rang at the doorbell of this house in the center of town and an elderly gentlemen wearily opened the door. They only do internet and on appointment so I could come back in 2 hours as he had a customer now. 2 hours later, it turned out the elderly gentlemen was the retired father of the shop owner who was on a 8 weeks trip to india. He did not know anything on guitars just opened the door and did the logistics. It also turned out by an incredible twist of fate, he new my father from their past business live. After he saw I could tune a guitar and actually could play some tunes, he suggested "why do you not come back tonight to hang around and play what you like" So when I came back that evening, he set me up with a case of beer and asked me to start with a 1898 Jose Ramirez that just had come back from the luthier from fixing and they wanted to see if it could hold up the pressure. An awesome experience and an ever so sweet tone. After that we did Conde Hermanos (2002, 2012, 1976), Ricarde Sanches (1982), jesus de Jimenez (2014), Bernabe (2012), Juan fernandez Ultra (2019), Juan Ostrich (1976), Francisco Barba (1981), Jose Ramirez (1928), Manuel Romero (2005), Pedro Maldonado (1978), Francisco Barba (1981), Geronimo Perez (2012)etc. etc. An amazing opporrtunity. For me the Hermanos Conde from 1976 was the real stand out of the evening.
