Paco de Lucía

Pepe Romero Jr. Negra Flemenco

#207 was purchased by Paco de Lucia

NEWS: This guitar was sold to Paco de Lucia! He says that he feels enchanted by the guitar. He loves the round sound, that it feels great in his hands and tunes great... We will post some photos of Paco with the guitar shortly after we receive them.

Made by the son of the great guitarist of the same name. It has huge volume and extremely quick response, much in the style of the great Andalucian flamencos - particularly of Miguel Rodriguez. Since his 170th instrument, Pepe has adopted a reverse fan system (fans radiating from the bridge area, rather than from the soundhole) for his standard model after studying an early 1970's Rodriguez with this very system. Pepe feeels this opens the instrument up, and gives it a unique distinctive quality of sound that appeals greatly to his sense of style. The instrument is very lightly built as was common with most mid-century flamencos. Playability is very easy with a smooth neck and large, rounded frets. The sound is thick and warm, yet very pure and separated, which is exceptional for a cedar top negra like this. One interesting detail is the use of a brass nut, which also adds an extra helping of clarity and brightness to the sound. Although this guitar was purchased by Paco de Lucia, we can offer this same model (with the option to change any of the specs), so please don't hesitate to contact us regarding placing an order.

Guitarra flamenca Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso (Hermanos Conde ) 1971 de Paco de Lucia

Esta guitarra flamenca ha pertenecido al mejor guitarrista de la historia de la guitarra flamenca: Francisco Sánchez Gómez "PACO DE LUCIA". Esta guitarra de la firma Sobrinos de Domingo Esteso del año 1971, construida en el emblemático taller de la calle Gravina nº7 por los sobrinos del maestro guitarrero Domingo Esteso, regentado entonces por los hermanos Faustino y Mariano Conde, ha formado parte de la colección personal del maestro desde que se le entregase en dicho año tras ordenar la construcción de dos guitarras flamencas especiales de idénticas características de las cuales una sería para el maestro Paco de Lucia y la otra para el maestro Manolo Sanlúcar. Todo lo expuesto está perfectamente certificado por escrito por la casa Conde Hermanos en un documento que se entregará junto al instrumento en el momento de su compra.

Las maderas de esta guitarra flamenca son de la más alta calidad existente. La tapa armónica es de cedro canadiense, con un veteado muy marcado, rectilíneo y uniforme que avalan la calidad de la misma. Los aros y fondo son de palosanto de India con un veteado recto y unas tonalidades preciosas.

El sonido es de una calidad y carácter insuperable. Los bordones son potentes y con una profundidad extraordinaria, los triples son cristalinos y brillantes, con gran proyección y sustain, manteniendo un equilibrio perfecto entre ambos.

La pulsación es media, y la altura de cuerdas en selleta y diapasón está perfectamente equilibrada, proporcionando una gran comodidad para ambas manos.

El estado de esta guitarra flamenca es excelente y original en su totalidad, sin grietas ni reparaciones de ningún tipo.

And so it happened that since Paco de Lucía arrived to Madrid when he was only 13 years old, there wasn't a single concert in his artistic career where he wasn't playing a Conde guitar. The guitars he usually opted for are the models equivalent to today's FC 26 or FC 28.
