RobJe -> RE: Conde Faustino on ebay... (Sep. 24 2007 22:42:23)

This guitar gets a big build up on ebay! While you can never be sure how a guitar sounds and plays from a description, there are some encouraging visual signs that this guitar has not been messed about with too much. The top level Condes of this period and earlier had a darker finish on the neck (looks like mahogany but it's just the colour of the polish). A light colour neck is a real giveaway that the guitar has been completely refinsihed. I just got the '65 version of this guitar in a musical instruments auction and it is pretty amazing - well worth sitting through 250 violin lots until it came up! Rob
