Btw, does it really matter what specific tuners used to be used in the shop Felipe V? Or in recent Ramirez, Contreras or whatever? Of course it matters. You seem to be stuck on this point that it doesn’t, but of course it does. Be it good Gotoh tuners on one guitar or the cheapest of them on others, if this is an example of the quality control practiced by the Conde firms in the first decade of this century, then no wonder their reputation took the giant dump that it did. It appears to be well earned. Same with originality. It matters. Just not to you. I’m willing to take it on the chin in the service of clarity and accurate information. If I say something that is subsequently proven wrong then I’ll realign based on the new information. If, after everything that has been said and done in a discussion like this, people just retreat into their respective corners and obstinately hold to their original positions, we’re wasting our time. Maybe the non-makers on here can indulge themselves in a pile of fanboy claptrap and innuendo, but the makers should hold themselves to higher standards. At least, that’s my opinion, man. Otherwise, what’s the point? I guess this thread will continue to upset me more than it should. In truth, I don’t give a flying f**k about the OP’s or Jonnycake’s guitars, or about glowing descriptions that mean absolutely nothing, or about the crap that the Conde family has brought down upon themselves. I do care about accuracy, but fighting for it on here is just not worth the aggravation, it seems.
