thanks

Mohamed

I dont know how much you wanna spend for a guitar. But two weeks ago there was a person who had a 500-800Euro model of the Sanchis Caprio blanca. It was a great guitar. It was better than my studio conde Hermanos.

Which was much more expensive. Such happenings are allways feeling so bad. Incredible! But no problem..I sold my bad conde this week.
