Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.Salvador Ibanez was a Spanish guitar maker active in the late 19th century whose workshop, along with makers such as Manuel Salvador, contributed to the classical Spanish guitar tradition that the modern Ibanez brand later took its name from when it began Japanese production in the 20th century. A 19th-century Salvador Ibanez instrument represents that original Spanish lutherie rather than the modern electric and steel-string brand. The Eric Clapton link recorded against this instrument in the catalogue has no independent source backing it that this search turned up, so it is presented here as an open question rather than settled provenance.
The Conde Hermanos Paco de Lucia is a professional concert-grade flamenco guitar hand-built by the legendary Madrid-based Conde Hermanos workshop. These instruments feature either cedar or spruce tops with Indian rosewood back and sides, 664-670mm scale length, and 52mm nut width, optimized for flamenco technique and tone projection. Named after the Spanish flamenco master who adopted Conde guitars in the late 1960s and played them exclusively throughout his career, these guitars deliver powerful dynamic basses combined with crystal-clear, sustained trebles. The tone awakens the authentic flamenco bark and assertiveness essential to the tradition while maintaining warm, vocal character in gentle passages.
