Hi Morante, I noticed something about the head of Conde guitars.
Faustino Conde's head is the most noticeable. It has a shallower semicircle and incisions with a greater curvature on both sides.
Gravina's conde（after 1989）is similar to Faustino Conde on both sides, but the width of the Media Luna is narrower than the head.
Felipe Conde and Mariano Conde have bolder lines of the Media Luna which has deeper semicircle. But Mariano's head is noticeably longer and sharper, like a bull's horn. The incisions on both sides of Felipe's head appear to be anterior and posterior. However Mariano just made two cuts to the surface of the front.
These are just some of my superficial observations. I would be glad someone could point out some of my mistakes[:)]
There was a lot of variation over the years, and dangerous to make assumptions based on that thing. Here is a 1955 Sobrinos de Esteso and also the classical models in the Felipe V catalogue (1990 ish) to compare:
If only these darn things were cut by machine instead of by artisan hand, we could have some consistency?[:D][:D][:D][:D][:D]
