Ricardo -> RE: Is this 1964 Conde Hnos green label worth restoring? (Jan. 6 2024 19:01:33)

Looks legit. Price is fair IMO. Most likely this thing sounds orders of magnitude better than any guitar in its price range today. It is not built on site but from a “factory”, ie, outsourced, as implied by having some apprentice in the same city (more likely they just deal with getting them from Valencia and such). I have seen this green label on another guitar labeled “Atocha” from the same years, and it was freaking amazing sounding. Even had the old strings on which still sounded great. This guitar, if it is made in 1964, probably has strings on it from 1965! [:D][:D] Personally I don’t need this guitar but I might buy just for the historic value. Probably could negotiate for it down a 100 pounds or so. PS, the cracks along the fingerboard are quite normal on any guitar that has dried. However, in the blurry photo of the bridge, if it is lifting, that needs to be glued down and clamped by a luthier. You could use that to negotiate the price down, and use the actual Luthier fee, or tell the seller to have it done first.
