Conde Hermanos A26 Felipe V $4800 OBO
|
|
|
This A26 is the Primera - top of the line flamenco blanca model from the Felipe V shop in Madrid. It is in great (almost new) condition with very minimal wear on top. There are some marks on the back left lower bout but can only been seen against the light. It is in overall great condition. The tone and playability is typical Conde with a bright separate-clear trebles and tight basses that cut through during performance. The action is low – again typical of this makers guitars. It is an excellent guitar for dance accompaniment and solo playing. - Classic Conde orange finish with popular rose rosette - Spruce top / cypress back and sides - 664mm scale length - 52mm width at the nut - Original Gotoh deluxe tuners Need to sell ASAP - best offer takes it! email or call wsoledad73@aol.com 321-652-2806 Saludos!

Doitsujin, This is my asking price and actually below what Conde in this caliber/condition cost in the US (average $5500) these days. I also welcome a reasonable offer, this is why I posted OBO. Saludos, Don

The asking price for this guitar at the moment in the Felipe V shop is just over 6000 euros. Whether it is worth this money is an entirely personal matter. Sean

Check out my post under "More Conde Hemanos" Which one? There are plenty of your posts there ;) quote:
it ain't pretty Why do you think it ain't pretty? I agree with every word you said. I think you do get value for you money by ordering a guitar from a world class builder, even if its at the price of $5000 or more. Like you said there are certain intangible things that you can't easily quantify. My point was that what is worth $1000 for one person, may not be worth $1 to another person. Each one of us is unique (thank god) and values things differently, its not to say that one person is right and the other is wrong, its just that we are different. And as for Doitsujin's comment about being extravagent, even if that's the sole reason a person buys an expensive guitar, I don't see anything wrong in it. If owning an expensive guitar brings you joy, go fot it. Now to set the recrod straight, I currently play a $1500 guitar (which is probably worth more now, cause when I bought it the Euro was 0.8$). I recently ordered a custom built negra from Aaron Green which I can't wait to get, and I'm also in the waiting list for a DeVoe. And I drive a BMW 330 convertible (you got to have a convertible in California).

Sorry too expensive. Everybody who spends more than 2000euro for a professional flamencoguitar is being extravagent IMO except rich famous players or collectors. Well my prices will go above 2000 euros very soon, and they will still be very cheap. It's so easy to say these frases, but reality is different. A normal output of handbuild guitars is around 12 a year. I now leave it to everyone to calculate a normal income of a guitarbuilder. Remember that materials and workshop are expensive things. You will always be able to find cheap guitars. Some even good, but people with the attitude like this one above, will play factory guitars and thats it. If you want something special and personal, and you think that it's worth keeping a traditional way of building alive, you have to respect that we, the builders also have to live. And, the last thing. Remember that the factorys never invented anything. They only copy. The real work is been done in the small personal workshops.

Ted You are very right, and that's why I'm always there when there's a discussion about handmade guitars. Where's the limit, and if a Conde Hermano or an Alhambra is a handmade artesan guitar, what is guitars like mine, and the others working like me (alone, doing everything themselves) Well. I'll leave it in order to let the guy sell his guitar. Maybe we should allow him to post a new thread, and not interfere. That's what I did in the start, but things got out of proportion and I got a little annoyed after reading some of the posts. BTW, I've seen a couple of nice Condes, and they hold their prices very well if they are in good shape. That's also value, so the price being asked for this one is probably right. Think about how much a new one would cost in the states after shipping and tax.

I'm building it right now. It's gonna have it's back glued on tonight. A Brazilean Peghead. I hope it won't "dissappear" in the multitude. You know the old story: You can't see the forest because of all the trees..... At least I'm the only one making zig zag rosettes.

Patrick, WOW! If heaven were a room it would probably look something like that. The finish on that Conde is nice, it almost seems like it glows in some of those pics.
