MADRID, SPAIN – APRIL 06: A detail of the guitars during the gluing in the fingerboard at Felipe Conde’s storehouse on April 6, 2013 in Madrid, Spain. Felipe Conde’s family has been handcrafting guitars following the families tradition since 1915. They use wood with a 30-year-old drying process, inherited from his father. The guitar’s finishing process lasts 2 months and they make about 24 guitars a year. They make two different kinds of guitars, the flamenco guitar and the classical guitar, mainly for professionals around the world. (Photo by Carlos Alvarez/Getty Images)
