Felipe Conde Crespo 2023 Flamenco Negra, Bearclaw Spruce / African Rosewood

Here's something we don't get in often. A concert-level flamenco 'negra' by Felipe Conde Jr., the latest generation of the Conde family, whose workshop marked 100 years in 2015. Built on the classic Paco de Lucía–era Conde dimensions, it delivers a powerful, aggressive voice ideal for solo performance or studio work. Craftsmanship is impeccable, with a refined aesthetic highlighted by the traditional media luna headstock and elegant rosette. Premium materials include an aged, bearclaw spruce top and striking African rosewood back and sides. The sound is big, raspy, and piercing yet clear and balanced, with excellent power and an easy-playing neck. Though second-hand, it is in great shape. A modern Madrid guitar with a rich, full voice.
