My First Guitarrero order

Guys , i want to choose some color , i like all and didnt had yet , well red wine i dont like that much

I choose yellow , but... i also ilke orange , red etc..
Im insecure about colour , im afraid to get tired after some time .
i ilke yellow , orange and red (not red wine)
finnely but not that important , is there any colour that sells better than others? i might sell somewhere in the future (if needed) and probably will be easier if everybody likes the colour

Pretty much all guitars I have ever owned or observed overtime, get darker. My bright yellow GK cordoba was luminous in 1999. Today she is dark brown. My orange conde still looks good in sunlight but the color has certainly darkened a bit since then.

RE: My First Guitarrero order (in reply to Ricardo)

well i wasnt thinkin about that issue but thats a point...

Mine sand colour is getting darker because spruce is getting older and this year she was sleeping in a warmer room , the classical cheap guitar was yellow now its getting a kind of orange in some places of the spruce top

So if i go red , eventually will be more like red wine over the years.
I i go yellow eventually will be more brownish over the year
I i go Orange it might age better thant other.

But which one is more popular and easy to sell?

Is there any option/especification that i should ask ? everybody loves low action and a nice confort neck , so i guess i dont need to ask for it

This must be from the same factory all the conde’s come from. Same rosette and mini media Luna.

I think solved all the mysteries here.

Which rosete?

Some come from "Maderas Barber" , but i dont give a ****... no paying even 2k...

but prudencio saez media luna is way close , but Sanchis have the same media luna to Conde, can check on Sanchis website lol they dont hide it.
These one no , its a nano luna , if you see without zoom it seems normal
