My wife asked me to select a new guitar as a birthday gift, and as usual we went to a big box store first. They had only one new Cordoba C12 CD in stock, in less than perfect condition, that had obviously been handled by many people.
So instead, I started searching online and found XGuitars and Geoff. I loved that Geoff is an accomplished classical guitarist himself and that he personally inspects and sets up every guitar prior to shipping. Geoff promptly and patiently answered all my questions via email, and the guitar arrived a few days later in perfect condition.
The C12 cedar is an absolutely gorgeous guitar that looks and feels more expensive than what I paid for it, and Geoff set it up exactly the way I like it. Great, balanced sound and very playable, I am more impressed with it every day. Absolutely love my new C12!
I very highly recommend XGuitars, I am now a customer for life. And thank you Geoff for making this the best guitar buying experience I've ever had.
Excellent Seller! 100% Recomended!
The Sagework Magnetic Guitar Support is a total game changer! Please do not hesitate to give this support option your consideration. I can obtain a playing position similar to that of Aguado and Sor, but for the modern guitar. The Sagework Magnetic Guitar Support exudes excellence in materials and build quality. It's modern, aesthetically beautiful, and easy to install.
I struggled a lot with pain in my back and left leg from using the foot stool. Ergoplay has eliminated the pain completely and allows me to play for hours on end due to the comfort. Highly recommend. If you are ordering from Canada though, keep in mind you will be hit with some large import fees.
Great strings! Brilliant and clear bass tones with singing trebles. Nice sustain! Excellent quality. The only downside is that the individual strings are not identified by a label, etc., so pay attention when changing the B and high-E strings. One of the string tips is colored red, but not identified on the packaging as to which string it is.
I was looking for a capo for my flamenco guitars and knew that Geoff would have a quality keeper that suited the purpose. This capo works perfectly for my flamenco guitars. It's very light and I am able to adjust the tension just enough. It seems like it is built very well. Thanks to Geoff the quick shipping!
My Alhambra is truly a work of art. It plays and sounds lovely. So, so happy with it.
Great strings, beautiful sound and more playable than others I’ve tried. Now my favorites. Service from Geoff was excellent as usual.
Received the attachment quickly and works perfectly in place of a foot stool
Very happy with this guitar and x guitars service. Thank you!
The 4P is the best guitar I've found in the price range. It feels solid and is very comfortable to play. The sound is very good with surprising volume, and mine seems to shine especially around the 7-10 fret range with beautiful bell-like tones. Normally, when I record, I have to do a fair amount of processing to get rid of a boxy or plastic sound, but this takes very little tweaking to get a professional-sounding recording.
Regarding the service, this is the first time I've ever bought a guitar that I could tune up and play right out of the box. It seems there is always some tweaking that needs to be done with action, intonation, squeaky rollers, sticky tuners. etc. but there was absolutely none of that. The setup was perfect, and that is extremely rare, so I really appreciate it.
I can't recommend this guitar or this shop enough.
Love the sound of RC SN-10 basses on my Alhambra guitar.
I got these as a direct replacement for the originals that came with the guitar. A gear broke on one the tuning machines. These tuning machines were a perfect fit and an easy install. Great price and fast shipping. Thank you again.
I live in Michigan, but I had the pleasure and benefit of going to Geoff's shop and trying out two guitars, one of which I bought after I got home (the Alhambra 8Fc). Through dozens of emails, Geoff accommodated my many requests and entertained all my questions. Even though I liked the 8Fc guitar when I visited Geoff's shop (where he pulled it out of the box for the first time), I had Geoff install my preferred strings, and then he did his masterful setup. The guitar that arrived at my home was almost like a different instrument: far more brilliant sounding and exquisitely playable.
For better or worse, buying a guitar in 2025 often requires buying it online--sight unseen. For anyone considering a classical or flamenco guitar, I would highly recommend going with Geoff. He does not just sell and do a quick set up; he is a skilled craftsman who knows how to bring the best of his guitars while also meeting your personal needs.
I was looking for alternative to a footstool due to my back pain. I’m still adjusting to more proper playing posture and experimenting with different setups buy one thing is obvious - I can reduce pressure on my spine with it and improvement is noticeable. Product itself is solid, holds my instrument well and doesn’t leave any marks on finishing. I’m satisfied with the choice.
Fulfilling the order by xguitars was quick, all items arrived well packaged and in good condition.
Great place to buy a flamenco or classical guitar! Geoff answers any questions and sets guitar up perfectly for you. I know I will enjoy my Cordoba GK Pro Negra. Now I just to learn some new, proper techniques for playing!
The Woodside Guitar Support GS4-LEV is terrific. I have the LX1R Little Martin, and the support fit it just fine. The pieces look so nicely machined, they fit together like a glove. The support is sturdy, and easy to take on and off (once initially put into position). The packaging was neat, and the instructions are clear. This thing enables me to sit up straight, and take the load off my neck and back. What a clever design, well executed. I just love it. Thanks!
wow nice guitar little out my league but it will be fun great carrying case fast shipping thank you
As soon as these strings were on my Ramirez, I started playing it again. Feel great, stay in tune, sound wonderful.
Adquirí un par extra de magnetos para usarlos en mi otra guitarra con mi nuevo Sagework Umbra Standar, valió la pena completamente. No imaginé que fuesen tan potentes. Me encantó su diseño y facilidad de instalación. Los recomiendo ampliamante. Gracias Geoff Ferdon por tu excelente servicio.
Adquirí este soporte para un gran amigo como un regalo especial, y efectivamente cuando lo tuvo en sus manos pudo apreciar su alta calidad, belleza, sutileza y gran funcionalidad. Quedo fascinado con el soporte y lo útil que será para sus magistrales interpretaciones musicales en la guitarra. Muy agradecidos con el servicio de Geoff Ferdon y la entrega del pedido en perfectas condiciones y dentro de los plazos prometidos.
Excelente soporte, alta calidad, súper funcional, versátil para usar y transportar, es de fácil instalación y ahora puedo enfocarme libremente en la interpretación de la guitarra, y de manera ergonómica. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. Resalto el excelente servicio y atención de Geoff Ferdon, siempre estuve informado sobre la evolución de mi pedido, el cual llegó a mis manos satisfactoriamente y dentro del tiempo estimado que se me prometió. Quedo completamente satisfecho.
I started with a Cordoba Negra. Then a cordoba c12. Then a Kenny Hill New World. Then a Cordoba Masters Series Hauser. Finally the guitar shown above is mine, and my quest for the perfect guitar for me is over. This Muñoz meets or exceeds all my expectations, and Geoff went above and beyond as well. Unlike the other reviewer, I play 3-4 hours a day, wake up ready to play, and go to sleep thinking about what to practice tomorrow. A happy guitar player here!
This is the third set of GrandTune Hauser tuning machines I’ve purchased. They are drop in replacements for the standard Schaller Classical Hauser style. All three sets were purchased for hybrid nylon string guitars to match their individual look. They operate smoothly and the fit and finish is beautiful.
I discovered and purchased my Armin Hanika Guitar from XGuitars. I am so thankful that Geoff is a HANIKA Pro-Shop Dealer or I would have missed out on this exquisite instrument. Shipped to me exactly as described, I cannot find fault with anything about this HANIKA Professional Line guitar.
Inspired by Antonio de Torres, Armin Hanika designed a new guitar featuring modern enhancements such as a comfortable C-1mm neck profile, inverted bridge, a pierced headstock for lighter weight, added attack, and modern aesthetics, Rubner lightweight "Sonido-E" tuners, and a 20th fret on the top two strings allowing for a high C and G utilized in modern pieces.
The traditional Grade 1 materials of Spruce, Rosewood, and Cedar are enhanced with an African Blackwood fretboard and Rosette, a beautiful African Blackwood, Macassar, and Maple headstock design, and African Blackwood binding. All finished in a natural finish that resembles a French polish. The inverted bridge offers a modern, clean appearance with enhanced projection.
This guitar sounds balanced with good projection. Probably a little louder than other Torres-inspired guitars due to the top-notch build quality, Grade 1 materials, inverted bridge, and natural finish.
Geoff offers great service and knowledge to his customers, and HANIKA Guitars responded to my question of how to properly restring a guitar with an inverted bridge within 24 hours.
The Hanika-Hiscox Case is of very nice quality, lightweight, offers a perfect fit, and helps to protect the instrument from changes in temperature and humidity. I ordered the optional backpack accessory and it was shipped the next business day. I received my order in just over a week from the UK.
The HANIKA Professional Line Natural Models of instruments offer exceptional value for those searching for a professional/concert guitar at a very fair price. Do not hesitate to contact Geoffrey at XGuitars to help you find your dream guitar!
