I don’t post here regularly, I’m more of a lurker, but I feel like I have some input here. I have a 2007 conde Blanca from Felipe V, that I bought used. After many years of resisting buying another guitar, I was really craving a negra to go along with my Blanca. I Was looking at used conde Felipe V negras from the era of my guitar (in the US) and some cost as much as a new Felipe conde crespo. I remember seeing a post by Ricardo praising a crespo guitar he tried in Spain. I’ve taken lessons from Ricardo for a long time, played most of his guitars, and trust his opinion. I emailed Felipe crespo and ordered a guitar. At first, I was nervous as it seemed risky, but I can definitely say I’m glad I made the decision. It roared right out the box. I’m not a luthier, but it has a different feel than the Felipe V guitars I’ve played. He uses a different bracing system and there are a few other things I’ve noted, like neck shape, fretboard thickness, and bridge design. It’s a very enjoyable guitar to play. Wonderful sound. Great response and comfort on the right hand. I can’t wait to see how it develops in time.

It basically confirmed what I had remembered when I first got to hear a Crespo guitar in Sanlucar 10 years ago. Best guitar in the room, and I have to admit hearing it in my own studio here, same deal. Best guitar in my room. I was only jealous of one student’s guitar in the past, which was a nice 1974 Reyes, but now there is this Felipe Conde Jr. Crespo. So not a fluke, he is still making great instruments.
