Alhambra 9P Cedar Classical Guitar

I was very impressed with the personal attention give to the purchase of this guitar. I had a number concerns having tried other guitars in this price range, and Geoff addressed them all. The guitar arrived well packed and set up just as ordered. I'll check XGuitars first from now on when looking for a classical guitar.

I purchased 2 Alhambras from here and I must say the service was A1! Geoff is really helpful, super communicative and honest. When making this kind of investment in your craft you expect decent service but XGuitars really goes above and beyond. Both Guitars were exactly as Geoff said they’d be, and both arrived in a timely manner damn near ready to play right out the case. Really could not ask for more, I 1000% recommend doing business here. I will be doing so myself for the foreseeable future.

After almost a year of researching, and trying to make up my mind: cedar or spruce, Cordoba or Alhambra, I finally settled on the Alhambra Cedar 9P, a few weeks ago. I wanted to say "I couldn't have been happier", but I don't know that for sure, since I never played that Cordoba or the Spruce version. But I CAN say that I'm VERY pleased with the 9P!
It's an absolute beauty, and it has a remarkable full bodied sound, well balanced and with just the richness and warmth I was looking for. I also really like the neck contour!
Geoff's expert advice and prompt responses to my emails were very much appreciated. He even adjusted the shipping day so that the guitar wouldn't sit at some UPS storage over the weekend (in who knows what kind of temperatures!): details like that show you that he truly cares about his products!
As for spruce versus cedar: the XGuitars website has songs that let me compare them played on either one of the P9s, which helped me greatly with making my decision! But if I ever have a need for that typical 'spruce' sound, I know where to order it! ;-)
If I would have to name one less than stellar experience (and I'm kidding here!), then it was that sticker on the box, that told me to wait four hours before unpacking the guitar to give it a chance to adjust to the temperature and humidity in my house: those were a torturous four hours! ;-)
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, and the highly recommended buying experience!

I would like to start by saying WOW!!!! I bought the absolute fantastic Alhambra P9 Cedar top, the guitar without a doubt it worth every penny, the look, the sound, the smell of the wood, the strings vibration, really everything about this guitar is absolutely all there.

Now, on top of all the above, the experience I had with Geoffrey was second to none, he is 100% a true gentleman, extremely knowledgeable on classical and flamingo guitars, I was going for a different guitar, but Geoffrey suggested me the Alhambra once I explained to him what I was looking for and boy was he right on the money!! also every guitar that Geoffrey send out it is fully inspected, my setup was impeccable to say the list, I'm a super happy camper and I'd like to thank Geoffrey so so much for his service, for his knowledge and recommendations, and for the absolutely fantastic way he handled this transaction, if you thinking to pull the trigger on anyone of Geoffrey's fantastic guitars, and you want a true professional experience, do not hold back you will not be disappointed, and above all it is better to live reach than die reach!!! Just buy a guitar you will live happier.
Many thanks Geoffrey.
