Guitar for saleFrom Dan Mish, danmish51@gmail.com:1975 Hermanos Conde Flamenco Guitar This guitar is a Gravina model made by Faustino Conde. It is the same model played by Paco de Lucia. The guitar is extremely rare in that it has a French polish. It has been appraised twice at $14,000. I am selling it locally for $10,000, so as to not deal with shipping.
