Reyes and Conde's are like apples and oranges, very different; I like both but I have to say looking at his older videos his Reyes about 6000 euros to much. The best guitar he had before was a Conde, not sure what happened to that one. Andalus guitar, I'll believe it if he ever actually uses one in anything other then the Prof's infomercials.
Oh man that's depressing...and all 4 vids he don't look happy. I know how he feels, I had to sell my fav conde couple years back because I need money and it was the only instrument I had that could have got the amount I needed. Most players like to think of themselves as modest collectors and it really sucks to have to sell a guitar. Reyes hijo is not the same as padre, but back in the year this was built, I had a student who picked up two. One, the earlier one was far superior to the younger one, I was convinced the dad had a big helping hand in the first hijos on the market. His guitar would have been one of those I bet. (1998). Really sucks he had to let it go, unless of course he just traded it for some fancier instrument, but like I said, it sucks to not always be increasing the collection.
How do we know he sold his Reyes, does he say so in one of the videos?
I agree with what you say about selling guitars, Ricardo - I have had to make some hard decisions myself over the years. There are 2 in particular I really, really regret selling.
We'll see what he tours on stage with, that's the pudding.
There are guys that ring my doorbell wearing hard hats, construction vests, and carrying clipboards; I guess they think it makes them look official. These guys ask to see your gas bill so they can copy the info and sign you up on a contract without your knowledge. For some reason at the 5min mark, Antonio wearing headphones reminded me of them; all official like.
It must be Rubs history that is making me such a pessimist.
