Hand-built in Madrid in 1986 by the renowned Hermanos Conde workshop (Felipe V Street period), this “Especial” Blanca is a standout example from one of the most sought-after eras of Conde production. If you’re searching for that unmistakable Caño Roto sound — the bold, throaty tone heard from El Viejín and other Madrid-school greats — this guitar captures it perfectly.

 

Constructed with a German spruce top and cypress back and sides, it offers a voice that’s alive, powerful, and richly flamenco — full of bite, resonance, and projection, yet balanced and refined. The tone has that dry, hollow resonance and singing clarity that defines the best Madrid guitars.
