Outstanding workmanship made in Spain ! Great sound and feel.
The quality and sound brings my playing to new heights ! Geoff is always great with service !
The Savarez Alliance Cantiga strings are great. They have excellent sustain and a well balanced tone. The strings arrived quickly. The service from Xguitars.com is great and I will be ordering more strings in the future. Thank you, Geoff!
I have a couple of these. I've tried several different styles of supports, and this is the best. The plexiglass style ones to me seem heavy and I think they cause a slight dampening in sound. It's not noticeable in front of the guitar, but from the player's perspective, I can hear a difference, and it sounds more full with the Murata. This is affordable, stable, and easy to pack. Couldn't ask for anything more.
The guitar was set up great and XGuitars and Geoff were absolutely top-notch. I highly recommend them !!
Swapped the stock tuners on my Ramirez for Schaller GrandTunes and the difference is incredible. The snakewood knobs feel luxurious, and the tuning action is buttery smooth after a light spray of 3 in 1. Stability is rock solid. My guitar holds pitch beautifully.
If you’re looking to add both elegance and performance to your instrument, these tuners are worth every penny.
👉 Highly recommended! Treat yourself!
The one thing that impressed me the most was the personal attention given to ensure that my order of guitar strings went out in a timely fashion. That was greatly appreciated. Upon receiving my order there was a personal note included that provided a little bit of information about the owners. It was a very nice touch; very welcoming. I am not a professional guitar player although I wish I was. The guitar belonged to my late husband and I have been enjoying learning on it. I do wish however that you folks sold mandolin strings. Anyway, thank you for making this purchase such a nice experience. When my strings pop again, I know who to order from
I love these strings and use no others. They make my classical guitars come alive. I was, however, encouraged to submit an honest review so I must mention that the second string (the B) on one set unravelled rather quickly. Alas. Not sure if I can order a single as a replacement. But evidently nothing is perfect and that string certainly won't deter my using the 520 P-1 strings exclusively.
I was happy with the entire process of purchasing my new guitar. Nice selection, responded quickly to email inquiry, and received guitar in timely manner. Lots of packing material to keep anything from happening to guitar during shipping.
At the behest of my teacher I started looking for an Alhambra 4P several weeks ago, only to be met with a short supply in the US and lengthy and uncertain back order times. The XGuitars website showed one in stock. It was real! Geoff reached out with an expected arrival date and to let me know that he would set it up himself. The guitar is gorgeous. The sound is gorgeous. It came with a personal letter from Geoff stating his very generous return policy. He offered advice for keeping the guitar in good condition and invited me to reach out with any questions or concerns going forward. When my teacher heard that I’d purchased a 4P from Geoff he was so happy for me! Apparently Geoff has a reputation for being one of the best of the best - a knowledgeable musician and a fair and service-oriented businessman. I am very grateful to have found XGuitars.
Shipping was fast and accurate. The Gitano respond to my need actually. My Cordoba guitar is a matte finish, the succion cup did not stay on more than few minutes, I had to install the included cling sheet (by Gitano) to make it work. Now the support stay in place as expected when in right position. I play in classic position. The fabric make the guitar slip on my leg, and change the angle of the guitar forward, as the support fabric receive the pressure on the side close to my body, So that's make the fabric (in front) unglue from the support, and holding just by the half of it. So i put some glue and put a new black tape to fix it better. It's look now more solid. I put a little piece of velcro in the center to make the fabric less slippering. Also, I am positioning to keep my leg straight and with the less angle as possible. I have now maximize every aspect that would make the Gitano work as expected and last for long time. For now it looked to work well, the next days will tell. If it still working ok definitively, I will be very happy with the Gitano support, because I like it.
Good purchase and accurate description of the product.
These are the best for my hybrid nylon string guitar, and very classy looking as well. Love em.... Thanks Xguitars . Btw, no drilling required, lined right up perfectly!
Great tone and price
Geoff has always gone the extra mile, not with just strings and accessories but also with many helpful suggestions and encouragement. All businesses should operate on such a level. Please keep up the good work! Thanks, Geoff
Just put these on and really like the clarity a feel of these strings. Likely, these will become my preferred strings. Also, XGuitars is outstanding
I am a returning customer. My initial purchase has worked out wonderfully. With a new guitar I wanted to be able to continue using the magnetic guitar support, so I bought an extra set of magnets to install on my new guitar.
This is a great alternative to a footrest. This support allows me to have both feet flat on the floor, which is much better for my posture and allows me to play for as long as I like! The suction cups are a good fit and aren't too strong that it's difficult to adjust them or remove the support when I put my guitar away.
As always, excellent service from Mr. Ferdon. These are excellent strings. Similar to the Cantiga Premium option. In the next 1-2 months I will compare Cantiga to Cantiga Premium. Expectation is that the difference is negligible, but we will see. These strings are powerful, balanced, rich and...still affordable at X Guitars.

As always, excellent service from Mr. Ferdon. These are excellent strings. Powerful (not the most powerful), but balanced, rich and...still affordable at X Guitars. One of my favorite brands.

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
