Conde A 28 and guitar lust in general 1 votes

There's a conde A-28 on E-bay for 2200. I don't keep up with prices. Is this a good deal? Seems like it. I'm suffering from guitar lust. As a lefty, I've never had many options, but now with the net, it seems you can get anything. Problem is, I have made an investment and have little money at the moment to spend on guitars. There is a really nice gibson 335 lefty on e-bay, but instead I satisfied myself with a Jay Tursner copy. 225.00 with case and this thing plays and sounds extremely well. I can't believe the value of this made in China guitar.

Just make sure to wear rubber gloves when you play it, and make sure not to
lick the finish. The Chinese seem rather notorious these days for putting
internationally banned chemicals in just about everything ... :)

well ...the seller has 100% positive feedback and 204 feedbacks.
Seller seams trustable! Guitar is decribed as AS NEW condition.
Free shipping. Case.
Seams to be a good deal for 2200 $.
The only question is how does the guitar sounds like?

He is a well respected dealer. He usually offers a return policy on his guitars. You might see if he will give you one.

Hi, I had an A28 with pegs in my hands 2 weeks ago. There are a lot of guitars available that I believe ( my opinion) are better value and quality for around the same price. Having played the Conde I must say, I was'nt impressed! My advice would be to take your time and make the right choice.
Anders, has what appears to be a some very nice models and flamencos on this forum appear to show his work great respect.
Sure, Conde are great guitars, but you might be pleasantly surprised by checking out some of the other lesser known makers.
Lust not love can be a bad thing and don't let it cloud your judgement. Take your time and you WILL find the guitar that is right for you.
