Description
Hermanos Conde 1998 “Paco de Lucia special” – spectacular sounding flamenco guitar with Paco de Lucia`s signature!
When it comes to Flamenco guitars, one name stands out:
“Hermanos Conde – Sobrinos de Esteso”.
Sabicas, Paco de Lucia, Pepe Habichuela, Nino Josele, Tomatito, Moraito – and almost all great flamenco artists played and play “Conde Hermanos” and those who love the sound of Paco de Lucia will soon or later consider to buy one of those guitars.
What is behind these guitars and why are they world famous?
Hermanos Conde are not simply guitar builders like others, no, they have probably written flamenco history like no one else. The three brothers Faustino, Julio and Mariano started to build guitars for Domingo Esteso. He was the great master, head and trainer in their early years.
After the death of Esteso the three brothers started little by little to built instruments in their own style. First with the label Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso, but in the beginning of the 60s, it was not easy to make a living by selling flamenco guitars.
When the young Paco de Lucia finally became aware of Conde at the end of the 60s beginning of the 70s – he had previously played Ramirez – they had created their own type of guitar, with incredibly strong basses and singing trebles – simply brilliant flamenco guitars.
Paco was seen from then on almost exclusively with Conde, which naturally found its imitators due to the popularity of Paco. In the old TV recordings of the 70s there is almost no young guitarist who didn’t play Conde.
Faustino Conde, who is considered to be in charge of the construction of the old Condes, has written flamenco history.
This legend of the Condes has remained to this day.
This model is very rare, because it’s a “Paco de Lucia” special model with a signature of Paco de Lucia on the label and the signature of Conde. It is a very limited edition, made by the workshop over the years. It has a nice spruce top and rosewood back and sides – similar to the original Paco de Lucia guitar. The scale length is 664 mm and the nut width 52 mm. The condition of this guitar is very good. It only has some very light wear from play and use.
It has a very nice flamenco sound and reacts great. It has a fast attack and a great flamenco tone, which immediately excites and thrills you.
It has beautiful basses and is nevertheless a very balanced instrument. The tone is a perfect blend of beauty and true flamenco aggressiveness. If massaged by the player, it sings with a sweet voice that is warm and full, but if pushed, even just a little – it awakens with a powerful bark that only the best flamenco guitars can produce.
A beautiful guitar – simply guaranteed to fall in love with!!
