quote: ORIGINAL: tk I have never seen a media luna in this shape lol https://finefretted.com/instrument_detail.php?i=546 Yikes! Is that really a Conde? That must have been made under contract elsewhere. This is a lower end model Conde, you can tell by the label, rosette, tie block and simple binding. Judging by those features it wouldn't have even been at the level to have the Esteso headstock shape. The headstock would have originally had the rounded shape like the photo below. Someone has changed the headstock shape. They only had limited wood to work with, that's why the media luna shape is off and the pegs are so close to the horizontal edge cuts. This seller also states 'original french polish'. Conde are nitro finished. Compared to a genuine late 60s media luna.
