Stu -> Prudencio sanz (Nov. 2 2012 19:06:22)
Hi guys, I've been absent for so long! how were you all? Got a quick.question about a guitar. A friend of mine is trying to get rid of a guitar. And wants to know if id like to buy it. Its a Prudencio Saez model 54 cutaway. I know its not a flamenco.model but I have a feeling they may only want a.small token payment (they don't play guitar) How good is this guitar? And what price should it go for second hand approx.. Pictures look.like its in good shape. If its super cheap I may buy it and sell on Thanks Stu

Try posting this in the General section.

In 2004, I was in Bangkok, Thailand for a couple of days before flying into Rangoon, Burma for a four-month assignment at the American Embassy. I had not brought any of my flamenco guitars with me, but at the last minute decided I would buy a guitar in Bangkok to be able to play and practice while in Burma. My thought was to sell it when I left Rangoon. I went to a store specializing in guitars in Bangkok and bought a Prudencio Saez for the equivalent of US$250. It was a classical (not flamenco) but had a reasonably nice sound. It served its purpose well while I was in Rangoon. While not a great guitar, it was a good classical. Based on my experience, if you can get it for a good price and you would be satisfied with a classical, I would recommend you get it. Cheers, Bill

One night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble Not much between despair and ecstasy One night in Bangkok and the tough guys tumble Can't be too careful with your company.

I have a Prudencio Saez Model 22 Flamenco. It has a really authentic old school Flamenco sound and is certainly good value for money. Based on mine I would certainly recommend this maker.

I was staying at the Oriental Hotel, and in the evenings after dinner I would have a few beers at the Tiger Bar, while listening to a very good jazz singer and her combo, imported from New York. I wish I could say I was living dangerously, but I was not. Couldn't afford the consequences if something happened, as I was on State Department orders for my TDY assignment at the Embassy in Rangoon, Burma. Cheers, Bill

I picked up a model 56 in Munich many years ago...was only a cheapy (E200ish) but it was playable and cost less than a pick-up to fit in another guitar. I think the 54 is the same guitar without the pickup - a bit messy with the glue but as good as anything else in the price range

Cheers, Bill Larisa and I stayed at the Oriental a couple of years later, in November 2006--one of my all time favorite hotels. The outdoor breakfast buffet seemed to cover a city block along the banks of the Chao Phraya. As far as living dangerously: Larisa and I had only known one another a couple of months at the time. The guys on the tiny island of Roi Namur where we lived, nearly all bachelors, commented that a lot of them had gone to Thailand to meet girls. A few guys had brought girls back from Thailand, whom they married. They said I was the only single man from Roi in living memory to actually take a girl to Thailand. We spent some time in Phuket diving, visiting the spectacular little islands, chilling out and enjoying the great food. We went to Angkor in Cambodia as well, a wonderful experience. RNJ Rummaging through packing boxes, just ran across the DVD with these photos. Huge reclining Buddha at Wat Pho by Larisa:

Although there are many reasons to visit Phuket, I would go for the Tiger Prawns alone. I love going to the outdoor restaurants, picking the seafood out, and having it grilled on the spot. I love those huge Tiger Prawns, grilled and slathered with lemon and butter sauce. Cheers, Bill

hey suckers! who cares about Bangkok!!?!! quit hijacking my thread!!!![;)] actually you keep it! im going to the general section with this! cheers Tom thanks to those who stayed on topic! my mate only wants 100 pounds for it. I think ill take it.

BarkellWH -> RE: Prudencio saez (Nov. 5 2012 11:04:33)
Actually, Stu, you will recall that I originally mentioned Bangkok as the place where I purchased a Prudencio Saez, that I liked it, and from my experience advised you to go for the one you are considering. When mentioning Bangkok, however, it is difficult to remain riveted only on guitars! I'm sure you understand that. Cheers, Bill

I think Richard just gave this thread a happy ending.

I recommended posting this in the general section as this section is usually only luthiers discussing luthier related topics. 'Shop talk'. The general section will have more guitarists who play many different guitars from many different makers and I'd think you'd get more responses.
