Prudencio Saez Laud 700

Prudencio Saez is one of the leading names in the construction of classical guitars, flamenco guitars and handcrafted plectrum instruments made in Spain, with a workshop in the Valencian guitar tradition since the 60s. His philosophy combines manual work, rigorous selection of solid woods and special attention to comfort and stability, designed for both professional musicians and demanding amateurs looking for a true concert instrument in their living room.

The Prudencio Saez 700 Lute is the house’s top-of-the-range model, built entirely with solid woods: solid spruce top, solid birdseye maple back and sides, ebony fingerboard and cedar neck, with rosewood bridge, bone nut and saddle. The elegant oval soundhole and the special headstock with Wooden pegs underline its artisanal character, with a natural finish that highlights the grain of the bird’s eye maple and provides a very careful aesthetic in hand. The lute’s lightweight construction, precise fit and specific scale offer comfortable ergonomics, ideal for long studio and accompaniment sessions alongside Spanish guitar or flamenco guitar.

The solid spruce provides an immediate response, great transparency and a harmonic richness that opens with use, while the partridge’s eye maple reinforces a clear, articulate sound with balanced projection throughout the register. The timbre is bright but with sufficient warmth, with defined bass, present mids and singable highs that integrate naturally in rondallas, plectrum groups or mixed with classical guitar and professional guitar. The sensation when playing is that of a live instrument, with controlled sustain, excellent tuning and natural acoustics that invites you to explore fine dynamic nuances, from intimate passages at home to more demanding contexts. ​

A handmade lute like the Prudencio Saez 700 easily becomes the sound center of any space, inviting you to pick it up every day and let its resonance and tonal depth accompany each piece you want to rediscover.
