Hermosa, named in honor of her maker, Herman Hauser, loves her new case/condo/house,where she can rest in perfect relative humidity thanks to the male/female seal and cushioning.
Thanks Geoff for the great service and help.!
Purchased for a guitar that has sentimental value. Like buying jewelry for a person you love 😊.
These running machines impressed me for the quality of materials and actions . Would love to see if they have a model with bearings . Thank you Xguitars!
Really wonderful Shop to buy from. Quick and attentive to service.
The Woodside Guitar Support is the best support I’ve tried. Using a foot stool kills my back, but the other supports I’ve tried, Neckup, Sageworks, and a couple of others fail at some point. And always at the wrong time.
I like this enough that I’m getting 2 more so that when I perform I can do so seamlessly. But at home, it’s so easy to adjust I only need one out.
I have several guitars with matte or satin finishes and this support is the perfect answer.
Take your time with the manual, take your time setting it up on your guitar and you will be rewarded with an infinitely consistent playing position. And that makes playing the guitar easier and more rewarding. Kudos.
This is a terrific design and build. It works wonderfully. And though hough the felt tends to slip it’s an easy fix using something a little grippy beneath it.
I don’t play classical so the height/angle as designed was too much for me and exacerbated an arthritic issue of having no cartilage beneath my thumb. I had to have the neck cut down and rethreaded. There is plenty of pivot from the ball joint so if you are an acoustic player you can move freely. I’ve had 2days practice and no major issue.
As an acoustic player the guitar is in a much more natural position as it sits now in its shortened form. The designer could have a few short neck versions as an option. It might open a few more sales.
I wrote the personal stuff in case it helps someone. This lift itself, though? 5stars.
No hiccups ordering from XGuitars, would definitely recommend.
explosive, brilliant 👏 and
an epiphany of creative and
subtle warm demure tones
emanate with a sweet language
that only these strings can produce.
I am a vocalist and have recently gotten out of my comfort zone by trying some acapella singing. I do not have any musical knowledge but know what key I need to sing in. This pitch pipe will meet my needs. I just have learned however that not all that I want to sing will start on a note that I need for the correct key. So I now have a new learning curve to understand what note I need to start a song with!
I recently purchased this Cordoba Friederich from Xguitars after speaking with Geoff, who helped me decide among 3 high-quality contenders. The instrument is all I hoped it would be, tonally beautiful, well-balanced across highs and lows, and easy to play. The shipping took only 3 days from North Carolina to Kansas, and Geoff thoughtfully pointed out that by delaying the shipment till Monday I could avoid even the small chance of any damage to the guitar that might occur at a UPS warehouse over the weekend. Also, I appreciate the note he included in the shipping box that cautioned me to allow several hours for the guitar to warm from sub-freezing winter to room temperature before playing it to avoid possible damage.
I’m completely satisfied with my transaction with Geoff and will look to him and Xguitars for my next classical guitar purchase.
Fantastic guitar and great service. I would recommend the 11p and XGuitars to anyone. I am very well pleased. I have other very fine Spanish made guitars but this one is just so right for me. Volume, feel and, tonal quality is everything I have been looking for. Thank you Geoff and XGuitars -
❤️
Received my package a week ago and am very happy with my items. The personalised thank you letter included was a nice touch.
Thank you
Easy to install, and no more worries about suction cups falling off.
Gives me another option for optimal playing height on diiferent guitars.
I love the guitar support that sage work have made. It was easy to set up, and is firm. It feels nice not to have to use a foot stool anymore!
Cool product if you have no pickups in your guitar. So I can’t use it, but I will keep it around for my one guitar that I don’t have a pickup in.
You can definitely use the Sagework Support as long as your pickups are further from 1.5 inches from the internal magnets. You're also welcome to return it for a full refund, per our standard policy.
2 stars would indicate that the product is not a good product, not so much that it just doesn't work with your particular guitar for some reason. Is it your opinion that it is only a 2-star product?
Very low priced ,( $6 less than strings by mail ), and the lowest possible shipping .
Will buy more in the future ...
The 7C is a beautiful guitar with a deep and warm tone! It’s has great playability and I’m very pleased with it. Geoff was very helpful and did a great job setting up the guitar and packing it for shipment. Probably the best online guitar purchase experience I’ve had.
I bought the Jose Ramirez Studio 2 guitar for my granddaughter. Therefore I don't get to play it very often. My granddaughter adores her Ramirez and her teacher told her it is a splendid instrument for learning and performing. She truly is delighted with it.
XGuitars, and namely, Geoffrey were great to work with. Geoffrey is professional and clearly well informed about guitars. I highly recommend Geoffrey and his guitar store, X-Guitars. I am thoroughly and completely satisfied with my purchase and with the professionalism of the owner.
Finding the perfect strings for a particular guitar can be a costly trial and error process. Having recently purchased a new set of tuning machines that Geoff guided me towards, I decided to ask for his guidance regarding strings. I sent him the make and model of my Alhambra cutaway, and told him the sound I was wanting. He responded promptly with three recommendations. I decided on one, and I couldn't be more pleased. I should add that I live on the West coast. But I'll continue to do business with Geoff because of his knowledgeable advice and superb customer service.
These were recommended by my guitar tech, David Mannella in Pittsburgh, as well as esteemed luthiier R.E. Brune as being appropriate for my Alhambra 8p and an upgrade from the previous tuners. They are amazing... super smooth, like having a new instrument. More than happy. And my tech was highly impressed as well! Thanks to Geoff from XGUITARS for also leadiing me in this direction. I'll definitely keep XGUITARS as my first call for any guitar-related purchases!
adds to the value of the Sage support allowing use on multiple guitars
Bigger hands and the size of the sound hole on my Cordoba C12s made the installation of the magnets inside the guitar a bit of a challenge but I got the job done and I am pleased with the results.
Ten months ago, I replaced my Cordoba C10's original tuners with a Der Jung DJ106GX set, which were under $100. The Der Jungs turned out to be unacceptable: there was quite a bit of backlash (looseness) when tuning lower and the set screw at the end of one of the buttons kept falling out. I just replaced those with Schaller Grand Tune Hauser Tuning Machines and, thus far, they seem significantly improved - little-to-no backlash. There are no button set screws so that won't be an issue. I also love the way they look - classy and elegant.
Shipped quickly in a sensibly sized box. Excellent service as usual! Thanks, Geoff!
