Description
Viuda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso 1960 – a fine and exquisite guitar built by Faustino Conde!
This guitar is very special, as it was built for the famous guitarist Angel Munoz Molinero. He ordered this guitar from Faustino Conde and it was in his collection ever since.
The Spanish luthier Domingo Esteso Lopez was one of the great guitar-makers of the early part of the 20th century that apprenticed with Manuel Ramirez. After Manuel Ramirez died, he opened his own shop on the calle Gravina, where he was joined by his 13 year old nephew Faustino Conde in 1926, as did Mariano Conde in 1929. After his death in 1937, Faustino and his two brothers, Mariano and Julio Conde continued working under the label Vda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso. All these guitars are considered monumental and historical, some of them are shown in the great Museums around the world telling the most important part of the history of the Spanish guitar.
This is a 1960 Viuda y Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso guitar. Despite being a modest guitar, this guitar tells a great history, and it’s impressive sound underlines its importance, combining a punchy attack to sweet warmth and passionate dynamics that only come from more than 60 years matured excellence.
Its condition is very good for the age, just a small repaired crack. It is all original and the playability is excellent. Holding this guitar for the first time, and noticing the impressive low weight is a great experience.
The guitar offers an absolutely furious sound. Just as you know it from the recordings of the masters. It leaves no wishes unfulfilled. Absolutely powerful and dynamic in sound, it is a pleasure for the player and listener at the same time.
There are guitars like this, with which you immediately feel an inner connection and which you quickly take to your heart.
The sound is very touching and this guitar awakens deep emotions. The basses are round and precise, with a very special and enchanting quality. The singing and crystalline trebles offer a fantastic range of timbres.
It has rosewood back and sides and a very fine alpine spruce top. The scale length is 650 mm and the nut width 51 mm.
This guitar has the soul, dynamics and personality only found in the greatest matured master guitars. This wonderful and likely unique guitar would be a great addition for any player and/or collector.
