Try before you buy is ok for local pickup.From the Conde Website:Year 1975The decade of the seventies was very important for the history of Flamenco and also for our workshop. Following in the footsteps of Niño Ricardo, Melchor de Marchena, Manolo de Huelva, Esteban de Sanlúcar... the new generation of guitarists who would revolutionize flamenco in subsequent decades make our workshop their home and take our guitars to heights never experienced to date. . It coincides that it was precisely in 1971 when Felipe Conde began as an apprentice in the workshop of his father and his uncle when he was only 14 years old in the small workshop on 7 Gravina Street; which becomes a hotbed of artists who, together with guitar players, forge a new sound that will mark a generation of guitarists. As a result of this era, the black palo santo guitar for concert flamenco, created by the Conde Brothers in the previous decades, was consolidated. Guitarists like Mario Escudero, Paco de Lucía or Enrique de Melchor all began to play with the mythical black music of the Conde Brothers, giving a new air to the art of Flamenco.As a tribute and memory to that time of prolific creativity and strong friendships with the artists who changed flamenco, Felipe decided to build this emblematic guitar, so representative of this golden era of our workshop. This guitar is an exact replica of a model built in 1975 for Paco de Lucía.
