Prudencio Saez Guitars at GuitarsOnline
At GuitarsOnline we have known Prudencio Saez for many years.
Prudencio Saez guitars are rich in tone and lively with a velvety tonal signature. As makers with their family name at stake they care about each guitar.
They are small enough to do everything in the old artisanal way but large enough to field strong contenders across both the classical and flamenco world.
After many years of watching and testing the evolution of this maker GuitarsOnline have decided to commit to the range and import both their fan braced flamenco and classical models as well as their new Lattice models.
They are simply irresistible value and deliver great tone and projection
Over the years I have sold many fine examples from most Australian Lattice makers including Smallman Lattices, John Price, Kim Lissarrague, Graham Caldersmith etc and I am still often asked for Lattice braced guitars since they are so popular here in Australia due to the power and projection they deliver in concert or exams.
However, good lattice guitars often start at $7,500 to $28,000. While cheaper lattice copies can be disappointing often lacking tone and colour and timbre.
The reality today is that players no longer want to trade off tone and colour for power and projection.
So I also have a whole new range of reasonably priced Prudencio Saez Spanish Lattice options delivering both the power of Australian lattice and the colour and tone of the Spanish tradition.
Only Prudencio Saez could have fused both so beautifully.
Come and play, and see for yourself!

Built with Lattice bracing, but keeping the sound with all the flavor and color of the best Spanish guitar.
The back and sides are made of Madagascar rosewood and it provides a very rich sound, full of colour and nuances.

And it is a very comfortable and easy to play guitar.
One of the best guitars in this category and at an unbeatable price.
Condition Report
It is in as new condition and is a superb example of the Prudencio Saez workshop since it was hand-picked by a well-known player and collector for it’s colour and ease of play and tone.
Given it was one of many guitars in the collection it has seen little play.
