RE: I will buy a Conde by 2015 (in reply to Ricardo)
for that price range , I would be defintly interested in getting a Glen Canin guitar made for me new ..they are suppose to be awesome and amongst the loudest and best flamenco guitars around now . . Maybe you have been lucky enough to play one Ricardo ?
RE: I will buy a Conde by 2015 (in reply to CarloJuan)
I agree with Rico__Kiko; a Glenn Canin guitar is awesome. I have owned several high end Spanish guitars and still have a couple, but nothing compares to the Canins I have seen and played.
I would love to have a go on one but never have , I see all the reviews and top players like them a lot ...the whole thing is to do with the design and especially the bridge which gives it so much power........ if I had 5 or 6 thou I would really get one commissioned as my dream guitar , or even a second hand one ,,,,,,,.. but I never will have that spare cash ( lottery win not included) but with a wife, 3 kids , house cars ... it just aint gonna happen ....
There are a couple Conde's for sale in CA right now, including a negra from the 70's (In LA), as well as a nice 2000's negra in Santa Cruz, and even a couple "nipple" headstock Esteso's in the SF area. Craigslist has a bunch.
There's a fellow names Medy here on the foro occasionally. last I checked, he was selling the Faustino 70's negra (Brazilian).
