ORIGINAL: RobJe quote:
Ricardo, do you know what year this Conde guitar is? According to my records of some 50 guitars of this period, the first use of the bridge design shown in the El Lebrijano video (with the inset bone inlay) came in 1963 (the first media luna appeared in 1953). So it would appear that the guitar could be 1963 or later – probably not too much later as the video is in black and white. In case it is of any interest, my 1965 media luna still has the same bracing pattern as the1951 Barbero plan produced by Richard Brune. Rob Thanks for the closer look at it but FYI the 51 Barbero is not exactly like the Conde design, although it has some parallel comparisons. Generally the 1950's Conde has 7 fan braces with 2 bottom stiffeners that connect to the middle seam, unlike the Barbero with 5 fans across and 2 separated bottom stiffeners from the middle seam. And the Conde harmonic bar under the sound-hole is usually straight across the top, not slanted like the Brune drawing. Also, I have a plan of a 1968 Conde that belonged to Ramon, Paco lucia's brother, and this has the older fan brace pattern like the 1955 Conde guitar that Nino Ricardo played. My point in asking Ricardo this question was to determine if the guitar was like the 1955 model; which it could very possibly be, according to your information, and since Faustino Conde continued to make that top pattern through '68.
