A brand new Conde A26 Blanca just in from the Felipe V shop in Madrid.  There are arguably more flamenco guitarists playing a Conde than perhaps any other single maker, due of course to the immense impact that Paco de Lucia has with his Conde. Conde fans, and there are many, will be pleased with this guitar, since it possesses all the attributes that players have come to expect from these guitars. In addition, the guitar forgoes the usual ‘orange’ lacquer in favor of clear lacquer, which allows the beautiful woods to show through and causes this guitar to share the appearance of the Felipe V model that sells for thousands more.
