lol i always told in the foro that i still don't own a Conde (hopefully one soon, enough money is almost saved completely). but i played few. so thats no shocking news , smart boy 
like here (you were also involved in the discussion and read that i wrote that, so don't act like its something new , you found out)
http://www.foroflamenco.com/tm.asp?m=121414&mpage=2&p=&tmode=1&smode=1&key=
the fact that i still don't own a Conde, is even more proof that my opinion is not based on personal bias or a marketing compaign. i mean if someone owns a specific brand, then it would be difficult to admit something and say: my guitar sucks, even if it would. that person would most likely defend that brand.
also because he might want to sell it some day.
you don't need to own a Ferrari in order to like it.
so, i would say your childish "you don't own one, so shut up" comments, belong to the foro garbage can. same with most of your other comments by the way.
what a shame, that lester devoe and Paco are obviously just misused by you to prove your prejudices, because in fact i can imagine that Devoes guitars are most likely great guitars (hey, even Paco played one ;-)) . but your intention was obviously something different, which we now can see clearly. first you use Paco to show how great Devoes and how bad Condes are, then after the thread didn't develop like you wished, you make fun of him.
i think you are just mad now, that this story didn't end with "finally no more Conde", but with "back to Conde"
oh and the F05 was sold 3 years ago.
are you desperately using the search function of the foro , to find something you can use against me ?lol
then i can help you: search a bit more in the past threads, i was like you, i didn't like Condes, but now i am elder and wiser , one day you will be too
btw, do you own a Devoe ?
according your theory you have to own a Devoe to talk about him.

I am 100% that you dont even play those guitars yourself, when you have one come back and talk more,

IMO a couple of test drives wont be enough to form an opinion of a guitar less so of a brand.
It's very common to go to a shop, try 10 different guitars and buy one that you like but after a while (at least one month) regret. Because during the minimum one month you will discover many aspects of that guitar that you could have impossibly discovered during the test drive(s).
You need to play it under different circumstances, small room, big room, crowded place, open air, old strings, etc.
To form an opinion of a brand you need to have owned more then one guitar of that brand. As more you have owned of that brand as better an opinion you will form.
Even a Ferrari or cars generally, you need to have used them for a longer period of time to know if you really like them or not.

Paco is a great musician with excellent ear and impeccable technique. He also has many chances to sample the best guitars (and take them home, if he likes). That's why he is performing and recording on Conde and DeVoe. Both are great guitars, very different from each other, both have individual strengths. Which one is superior? It's apples and oranges. I just know that if I had a chance to buy a Conde, I would, but if it meant trading in my DeVoe for that Conde, I would not do it. My DeVoe is a perfect match for what I want to express right now, and this guitar taught me a lot of subtle nuances that my playing was lacking lately (due to muscle strains in my hands). I absolutely love the sound I get from this new guitar, and only wonder how it will sound in a little while. Perhaps, my demands will change one day, but I don't see it happening soon, and I will not part with this DeVoe in any case.
