Click on any photo below to enlarge
This gem came in as part of a large collection. This is a 2004 Conde Hermanos Domingo Esteso Reedicion or Reedition. Built in the fabled Felipe V workshop, this is a limited edition numbered series, not to be confused with the ongoing Domingo Esteso Reissue that is not numbered. This beautiful Cypress and German Flamenco guitar is no. 11 of the reedition guitars and features the optional figured Maple Golpeadors. The body is very lightweight and the response is that of a fine vintage Flamenco, even though this is made in 2004. It is clear this is the finest Conde Hermanos Flamenco being made today, with current New pricing of 17,290 Euros which is over $25,000 U.S.

Player Reviews:
"It is a treat for me to play such a standout Flamenco guitar as this Conde Hermanos Domingo Esteso Reedicion. This rare guitar is #11 of the very limited numbered series of re-edition guitars based strictly on the work of Domingo Esteso, Founder of the Conde dynasty. You need only play this guitar to understand what sets it apart, the power, energy, clarity and growl are proof enough this is the best of the best. It's proof of all the things we all know make for the best guitar, the finest materials in the hands of the finest Luthiers given the time to do it right. That's what makes this one so special." - Paul Heumiller
