The Conde family descends from Domingo Esteso(1882-1937) who trained his nephews, the Hermanos Conde. While the original set of Conde Hermanos died in the 1990s, the children of Mariano Conde had a shop on Felipe V when this guitar was made. The brothers have since gone there separate ways. This 2000 Conde Hermanos EF5 is a model that was sold by the Felipe V shop in Madrid. The guitar is in near mint condition: it has never had repairs, nor does it require any. It is set up well for flamenco, and is comfortable to play. There is enough bone in the saddle to lower the action if some adjustment is ever desired.
