Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The Conde Hermanos Al Di Meola is a professional concert-grade classical guitar blending features of both classical and flamenco traditions, built to the specifications of jazz fusion virtuoso Al Di Meola. Constructed with German spruce top, Madagascar rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard, and cedar neck, the Al Di Meola features a characteristic pointed cutaway and two additional frets enabling extended technical range. The guitar includes RMC Poly Drive II pickup system for amplified performance. The design balances the projection and assertiveness of flamenco tradition with the refined tone quality and playability of classical concert instruments, suited to Al Di Meola's fusion and flamenco-influenced playing.
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.
