Very happy with my new guitar case! Great doing business with Geoff . . . Bob
These strings are the perfect option for the Cordoba Stage Guitar. I have noticed thinner nylon strings break or tear easy on this guitar. The 500CJ series not only sound bright and clean but feel really good on the the finger tips. A must try indeed!!
Recently I purchased an Alhambra Linea Professional Spruce Classical Guitar from XGuitars. I had had some concerns about shipping and other questions related to my purchase. Geoff was very gracious in answering all of them. I was made aware of XGuitars by a former dentist friend of mine who had purchased two guitars from Geoff (the Alhambra 8P and the Alhambra Mengual y Margarit Serie NT Classical Guitar - Spruce Top). He also highly recommended Geoff and XGuitars. Through the entire process - while making my decision to purchase until the guitar had arrived safe and secure - I was very well attended to by the excellent customer service XGuitars provides. I am very happy with my new instrument!!! I also purchased an upgraded guitar case (Alhambra-branded VGV Classical Guitar Hardshell Case: Brown) and am so pleased. It helps with the humidity control as it has the built in hygrometer. A VERY SATISFIED CUSTOMER, Bob
I love my new Cordoba C12 cedar. I’m returning to guitar as a newly retired engineer - after a 48 year break in playing! Is it nicer than I really need? Yes! But I love it, I’m playing it, and it’s my new healthy activity. Geoff was great. I chose free shipping, and was a little concerned about whether that was a wise choice. I emailed Geoff, he got back to me, and it was fine. Geoff waited to ship it until after the upcoming holiday weekend - which was wise! It shipped Tuesday, and I had it Thursday. I appreciated the personal communication with Geoff, and am very happy I made the decision to purchase my guitar from him.
I play mostly jazz on the archtop guitar, but I also play a lot of nylon guitar. I usually play d'addario pro-arte and Savarez strings, but Hannabach flamenco guitar strings, especially strings 1-3, have a warmth and richness of sound that I've never heard before. Because of the name flamenco string, you might think that it lacks a warm feeling, but in fact, it has the warmth of a traditional Spanish guitar string better than any other string. Purchasing from X-string was a great experience because it felt like they specialized in classical guitar at a very good price.
I spoke with Geoff and he provided his recommendations for setup and action. The guitar arrived well packaged and had perfect setup. I am very satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend purchasing from Geoff.
Decided to give this one a try due to its compact size & sleek design and being able to simply leave it on the guitar when throwing in a case. While also being able to take it off and throw it inside the case as well. Works great for me!!
Purchasing an instrument from X Guitars was so much more than a transaction. It was a personally guided experience that far away exceeded my expectations. Starting with Geoff’s prompt follow up to my emails and phone calls, Geoff not only answered all my questions but also guided me in finding the best instrument to fit my needs. His knowledge of the minute details and nuances of classical guitars was impressive. Just as importantly, his shipping process to ensure safe arrival was flawless.
As someone who owns several of the world’s finest acoustic and electric guitars, I was initially skeptical about buying an instrument of such high quality on line.
X Guitars is a diamond in the rough that won’t disappoint even the most sophisticated buyer.
These salvarez alliance high tensions are INCREDIBLE and xGuitars had the best price so I got a back up set. My African Padouk Guild Mark 4 was loud before and now she's a CANNON. THANK YOUUU!
Thanks Geoff for your quick response and fast delivery of my preferred Hannabach strings, and for your prompt assistance. It was a pleasure talking with you and I look forward to continuing doing business with you.

I purchased a Ramirez 140 Cutaway with a Cedar top from Geoff at XGuitars. Geoff was very helpful and informative during our initial conversation. Being new to Nylon strings I had many questions. He was patient and I appreciate his experience and expertise. The guitar arrived quickly with a new set of high tension strings suggested by Geoff as I often play pieces in alternative tunings. The guitar is beautiful, sounds great has a smaller neck width and nice action. I'm very impressed with the LR Baggs Anthem pick-up. It reproduces the guitars sound clearly and accurately. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend XGuitars for your next purchase.
Alliance Savarez High Tension strings sound clear and distinct on my classic Yamaha guitar. Once tuned, the entire fret board notes are precise in tone; high treble strings sound are clear and soft, lower strings 4 through 6 providing strong and beautiful sound waves. This is a great choice of strings.
I had an excellent experience with X guitars.
Quality product, exactly as described. Prompt service and shipping.
I could not have been happier.
I will absolutely order from them in the future for my guitar needs.
I was on the fence, 7C or 7P. however I am more partial to rosewood vs mahogany. this is my first ceder top and after spending about 15 hours with it I'm in love. Alhambra has some good video's out on you-tube profiling their guitars so you can get a good listen. There is something, in my opinion, about a quality guitar made in Espana. Service from Geoff is the best. I also love the fact he is a classical / flamenco aficionado too. This really puts me at ease when purchasing from x guitars vs. a big box store where you never know what you may get let alone communicating with someone who actually plays this style guitar. Set up was on point in what was requested. playability fantastic. Savarez 500AJ strings make this guitar sing. I do spend time playing in my garden for my plants or wherever I am at. Second purchase from x guitars.
have these strings installed by Geoff. they make the guitar sing.
I had the 7P set up done by Geoff, with specs i like at the 12th fret utilizing Savarez 500AJ strings. The strings took a few days to stretch / brake -in but do they make this guitar sing. The set-up was outstanding making the playability of this guitar "easy" with no fret buzz to be heard no matter where i am playing.
I will not write about the guitar because you can read reviews elsewhere except to say that Geoff when through the instrument exhaustively. I comment Geoff and X-Guitars for the quality of their service, promptness and responsiveness. With X-Guitars you can be assured that expert hands have checked the instrument for any defects. I have mch to commend Geoff and nothing that qualifies my praise. you are in good hands.
The Woodside support is impressively made - a quality device. It is secure on the guitar but easy to adjust. It performs as promised and I no longer struggle with the uncomfortable sitting posture when using a foot stand.
After one week with the Actives Knobloch high tension strings on my Alhambra Professional Line classical guitar, I can say that these strings excel in sound volume and clarity of the strings 1 through 3, and are precise and with excellent timbre on the strings 4 through 6. It made my playing easier when compared even with other quality strings. Highly recommend this set of strings.
I switched from a foot stool to a support about a year ago. Love then, especially my lower back. However, the suction cups rarely would hold for an hour and I would find myself stopping to reset them. Tried everything - cleaning, wetting,.. Finally went looking for a mechanical connect to the guitar and found the Woodside Guitar Support. Works brilliantly and stays for as long as I want to play. Very comfortable and very adjustable. Highly recommend it.
I just installed this support and have been playing non-stop for more than 2 hours without any discomfort that I usually feel with the foot stool. It is awesome. I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it to anyone considering buying a guitar support.
Geoff was super helpful throughout the buying process, including returning a previous support which didn’t work well for me. I am absolutely satisfied with both the product and the level of service and customer support!
Thanks to XGuitar I can order my strings online at a value price. Their service is fast, helpful and friendly. Truly recommended!!
I play pop music on a Taylor nylon string guitar. I’m pretty hard on the strings when I strum and pick but the tuning and beautiful tones hold up very well. I love these strings!
Sorry. I would love to give you a review but I am still waiting for the order.
