RE: Prudencio Saez guitars? (in reply to Blondie#2)
I have had a model 22 for about 2 years. I have had no problems with it and it is well finished. I did take a bit off the bridge to lower the string height and it is now spot on. It is not a subtle tone but has a good old school Flamenco sound and is quite loud. I would recommend for for beginner/intermediate player.
RE: Prudencio Saez guitars? (in reply to Blondie#2)
How did you find the Prudencio guitars? I know of a couple of people using them in my area in Norfolk through a mutual friend but have not seen/heard one myself. I have been informed that they are good guitars? Did they tick any boxes for you?
I found them good for the money. Both models were properly set up and nicely finished, both identical finish really (varnish, rosette etc) but the G18 had nicer hardware and had more of a dark negra growl to it.
I also tried the more expensive Alhambra 10fp (which was out of my budget).... and immediately put it down and went back to deciding between the two Prudencios. The Alhambra nut was way too high and the sound did nothing for me, I would have taken the far cheaper PS 24 over the Alhambra, but I ended up buying the G18.
Its actually still in its box - its partly a Christmas present and I have a very strict wife
