Um if he doesn’t make the guitar he says he does, then, NO HE FKING DOESN’T!!! And if the marketing is fake...it is called FKING FRAUD!!!! He should be in jail. But nobody has a damn shred of true evidence WHAT SO EVER!!!!! Sorry but it just doesn't work like that in Spain. For years people told the story that their Ramirez would have been personally made by the hands of the old José just to discover later that this wasn't the case. Nonetheless Ramirez are great guitars and José the man behind them. Manuel Contreras was among the best luthiers ever born. His son Pablo took the company after his death and did great: he also won the Rodrigo Prize in Madrid (over the guitars of Conde, Bernabé and Ramirez to give an idea) with his 10th anniversary model. Unfortunately he has been ill for many years and just later on it was made clear that Pablo Contreras didn't make directly any guitar: he designed them and led a group of luthiers to work under his specs. I could go ahead with the stories of Hernandez y Aguado, Gerundino etc. but it looks like it's not worth the effort in the case of the Conde. Too much love and hatred. I mean: if even when one of the two brothers (Mariano Conde) decided to say how the things went, and he was treated in this foro as a layer, it means no evidence would be ever accepted here. I'll just stop debating on that.
