Features

It is a classical guitar and comes from Valencia (Spain). The size is 4/4 standard. Everything is solid wood, the top is spruce, body and neck are mahogany, bridge is palisander and the fretboard is ebony.
Nut and saddle are made of plastic. The tuning hardware is gold-colored, nothing special, but it does its purpose: keeping the tune.
It has all a classical guitar needs.
Sound

The sound is full and strong. The sustain is very good, also if you play silent. I think it's great in this price range.

I was satisfied with the factory set up. The neck is of middle size and allows comfortable play of barres.
The finish is very good and shows no flaws. Overall a good workmanship.

The guitar comes with a 2 year warranty. I had to claim it because the top got a crack but there was no problem to get a new one.
(the crack was a consequential damage of a nearly 14 days lasting delivery by the mail service - in January!)
Overall Rating

I'm playing a couple of years e- and western guitar and I wanted to try classical music, so I was looking for an affordable full solid classical guitar. I tried some other guitars in this price range but they couldn't reach the Saez in sound and playing comfort.
Overall: A superb instrument that makes really fun to play for a fair price.
