I find the Savarez 500 AR just the right balance and clarity for my guitars. The treble strings have enough fullness without sounding so plastic ( the g string especially sounds very balance without the weakness). The basses are nice and full and sing well. This set is normal tension and incorporates composite trebles. My hands don't fatigue at all with the Savarez 500 AR. I highly recommend Savarez and XGuitar.
Civil years ago, I bought my hanika directly from a broker in Germany. They put me in touch with the studio, and I had correspondence with them, which they amazingly promptly responded to. Since this is not a super famous brand of Guitar, I just thought I’d write this quick review that this is one of the most extraordinary guitars that I’ve had and I think I only paid 3000 or $3500 for it; it’s a special edition of the already great Torres. I have three guitars that I love, this one, and a Zimniki and a Japanese vintage. All concert ready guitars. But the Hanika is very special and excels in every category a superlative instrument should. Btw, in my experience, they are extremely under-priced for their quality…I’ve heard mine compared to 10 & 12,000$ makes and they are all there in all respects.
After trying different sets of Savarez strings, D'Addario, Aquila on my Cordoba C9 Parlor guitar. I preferred the Savarez 500AJ with the water deeper basses with the Alliance carbon trebles. Like the tonal palette of these strings on my guitar.
I purchased a fourth generation Woodside guitar rest for one of my French Polished guitars. It worked so well I bought a second one for another of my guitars. However it was not adjustable enough to fit my French Polished Flamenco guitar so I bought the new thin body Woodside guitar rest from Xguitars. It works great.
I use this on my Cordoba C12. Always bright and responsive.
I bought these strings once by mistake.
But when I listen to recordings, they sound superior to plain G and B.
I’m doing a mostly apoyando project and they are perfect.
Don’t forget to put the accent on the second syllable.
My online ordering experience with ex guitars was good. Very easy to find the product I was looking for and pay. I have not had the strings I ordered long enough to evaluate their quality, but they seem to be very good.
A beautiful instrument and exactly what I was looking for. The set-up is just right. Prompt service and delivery. I'm really happy with the Alhambra 4P. Thank you, Geoff. I highly recommend XGuitars to anyone looking to purchase a classical guitar.
I have a set on my Cordoba Fusion and they sound very good. I bought one for my Alhambra crossover and the Savarez 540j's sound better so I replaced them. The reality is that you have to experiment with different strings until you find the one you think sounds best on your specific instrument. No way around it folks...
Excelent price and service, thank you very much. I love this Stings.
Very smooth, precise, and beautiful. The best that I’ve used in 62 years of playing classical guitar. Buy a set. You will be impressed.
Nice feel and sound
The little time and planning it takes to set this up is well worth the effort! Once placed properly, it’s a custom fit support every time you use it. I only wish I’d had this sooner. Very sturdy. I love that it tilts front to back so I can lean the guitar towards me without affecting the placement of the support. Awesome that it folds to fit right in my guitar case without changing the adjustment. If I could buy it again I’d spend the extra money for the upgraded wood version. It’s a well-designed, beautiful piece of equipment that will last.
Perfect capo for barring in tune on nylon strings. Finely adjusts to just enough pressure for clean notes without intonation issues.
Recommended for good posture while playing the guitar. The service was excellent.
Articulate, very well balaced strings. Break in time is very quick too.
I like a string that fights back a little on my clasical guitar..these were perfect on my fine gut string from Spain..great delivery also...thanks!
I recently purchased a Oscar Munoz classical 🎸 with spruce top and rosewood back & sides. Beautiful wood, great build quality. I haven’t got to play it much yet but so far it sounds great. Good projection and clear notes.
Great strings and a fair price.
I like that it is small, folds out of the way and comfortable to use. 3 suction cups work fine. I am 6' tall with a 32" inseam, a little more torso then leg. In the chair I typically use to practice the set up works best when I put my left floor on a 2.5" thick book. Conclusion, I'm happy with it, but will likely find an alternative that is height adjustable too.
I thought these were perhaps a frivolous upgrade to my Córdoba Stage but they are completely worth it. They were easy to install and just needed a little lubrication to operate completely smoothly. The materials are exquisite.
Just what I needed for my Jose Ramirez studio flamenco guitar.
XGuitars service excellent as usual
Excellent service at XGuitars. Geoff explained to me difrences between different wood materials used to craft guitars. So I decided to get the Alahambra 9P CW E8 what a beautiful guitar. I am not musician or guitar expert but I love this gitar very easy to play and that specific sound. Guitar is an artwork at all details. I have few friends they played guitars for long time and I hear nothing but compliments. I also have Cordoba45 but I love the Alhambra soft sound. I just want to thank Geoff to convince me about this guitar that I am not making a mistake. Thanks Geoff. With best regards. Andy
