Like I'm going to pay this guy ten grand for a four to five thousand dollar guitar and he has "zero" feedback. Yeah right.

I never played a good conde ever. overly priced toys.

ALL the good condes are the ones I never find

I guess the only thing is to do is to mr conde himself and try guitars untill you finde one.

Be clever.. let Anders Make you one.

That's not a guarantee either duende. I had Felipe himself hand me guitars to play, but I didn't find a good one at the Felipe V shop. So, he gave me the address to Postigo's shop in Sevilla where I was headed for La Feria that year; there I found a good one.

I found this price list in one of my cases; it's from the Felipe V shop.
For you suckers that think you're getting a nice Jacaranda for $8500 from GSI and other stores, have a good look(note the date also).

No shortage of chumps means no shortage of income for the brothers. More power to 'em I say. They do produce some great guitars.

Hey Patrick careful man, if you dis any Conde on Ebay you will incur Ricardos wrath as I have in the recent past!

Not dissing Conde's, just the ridiculousness of this guy. In fact, I would really like a "good" A26 myself.

This is the second time he has listed it. At that price he could list it forever and not sell it, at least to anyone that has any knowledge.

But than again, we know what PT Barnum said.

This sis to ykabban.

"For you suckers that think you're getting a nice Jacaranda for $8500 from GSI and other stores, have a good look(note the date also)".

In 2003, GSI was selling the Conde Negra's at $6,995 in US which considering the excachnge rates against Euro's was cheaper than the 8,000 listed here in the price list. Even now, the Conde's have listed their Negra's AF25R at 8,030 Euro which converted is still more expensive than the current GSI $8,500 price.

So what's your point? I don't get it!

ykabban, I think Mkodji has a point though. Buying Conde guitars from US is cheaper! Don't you think so?

15.000Euro? The starting bid is GBP 5,534.00. But also crazy for this model. And it has pegheads.. For this money I would prefer an outstanding mechanic and not nostalgic cheap stuff.
