I have already this support and have bought new ones for done Friends..High quality, and after one year they are in perfect situation.
A beautiful hand-crafted accessory that takes you back when quality and craftmanship were present in a different time and place. Not only is it handsome to look at but it functions flawlessly. I am truly grateful to Geoff for making this available. It illustrates his beloved appreciation for the guitar and everything that makes this instrument so unique! Thank you....
After many years- too many- and some encouragement from my wife, I finally decided to treat myself to a really nice, high quality guitar. And so I did.
I can barely put down my new Cordoba C12 Cedar top. The guitar is beautiful to look at and a pleasure for the ear. Its sensitivity and resonance really set it over the top. Geoff did an outstanding job with the set up: we discussed my preferences and it arrived exactly as I requested, strung with my favorites: Augustine Classic Blues.
I cannot recommend too highly the guitar itself or the service that Geoff delivers If you are undecided for some reason, I'd encourage you to go for it. You will NOT be disappointed.
What can I say about a Ramirez except that it is truly a work of art! I am so satisfied with the whole process of ordering from Xguitars. They are a very honorable company to deal with, Geoff Ferdon, the owner, was great to deal with, the first guitar that I had selected had a small blemish in it and he pointed it out to me even before he shipped the guitar and asked me what I thought and of course I elected to go with another guitar, the E studio 140 Cedar top instead, I was so glad I did and I was so impressed with his honesty and concerned that I received the best guitar. I would recommend them to anybody wanting to purchase a guitar of this caliber.
Order was fulfilled and I was able to know where the package was at all times. XGuitars is great to do business with, really appreciate
If you’re looking for Spanish guitars and accessories this is the place to go. You get personalized service from Geof. He’s very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Quick response and fair pricing. I highly recommend him!
I was having a little trouble with the set up, wrote to the "support" but didn't get an answer. I ended up finding a "solution" from a video...So I guess support for this devise is lacking...Someone did answered my first e-mail but was asking me to clarify...I did haven't heard from them again...HA!
I ordered a TKL case for my elevated fingerboard classical guitar. The case is great, it was obviously custom spec by X Guitars. Price was great, shipping was perfect and there was a personal note from the owner.
The part was as described, prompt delivery. Good job and thanks.
The personal touch is much appreciated. The strings are long lasting, responsive, expressful and unique.
Geoff the owner is a master of knowing what you want or need musically. He has a magical sense of knowing what guitar is perfect for you sight unseen. He is friendly and goes the extra mile in helping you find just the right instrument for you. His extensive background in classical guitar makes him one of a kind in matching you to the guitar of your dreams. The guitars arrive in perfect condition in a timely manner. I am thrilled with my new guitar and moreover with my experience with Geoff and X guitars.
This is the most helpful site Ive been to for anything classical.
I really love the sound of these nylgut strings and I would encourage any guitarist who finds the sound of true gut strings, appealing to try these as an affordable alternative.
We ordered a number of these packs for our Spanish Guitar Academy. We teach Flamenco guitar, Classical guitar, Bandurria & Mandolin.
I've played & performed for 61 years on guitars from Spain's top makers. As my instruments are from the 1950s, 1960s & 1970s I would like to preserve the vintage sound they produce.
While performing both nationally & internationally, I was introduced to both Juan Orozco & his father. From them, I purchased the highest quality strings possible for these instruments. I use them to this very day.
My teachers, Richoly, Carlos Montoya, Sabicas, Mario Escudero, René Heredia, seemed at the time to agree. I think you will as well.

And a nice, personal note from the shipper. What's not to like? Nothing! I'll be back
My dream of owning my second Jose Rameriz guitar is a reality & you did a wonderful job of setting the guitar up. The sound quality is equal to the beauty of this instrument.
Thanks....
Candidly - I bought this Alhambra 6 Ebony Blanco Classical Guitar impulsively b/c I fell in love with the look of it as I was browsing online for a new classical guitar. It was shipped promptly to my house and in pristine condition as advertised. The tone of the guitar matches its beauty and I am thrilled with the purchase and the Seller. Thank you!
This is a very nice case I never thought I could purchase. Suddenly one came up and I pounced. Neither Geoffrey nor myself knew if it would fit my flamenco with wooden pegs. But, when this beauty showed up, I put my guitar in it and all was right with the world and heaven. Perfect fit! I had steak and potatoes that night! thanks Geoff, for running your biz the way yoou do.
I’m rather amazed at the improvement in tone that polishing my nails with this gizmo makes,
I love to admire guitars made of fine wood. That's what I got when I received my Cordoba C7. As presented in the description, it was immediately apparent that a number of craftsmen worked on preparing a beautiful piece of art in a musical instrument. I admit that I am biased toward rosewood because it easily becomes a shining example of how a lifeless piece of wood can be transformed into beautiful art. It's so easy on the eyes. On top, also, the cedar sound board with matching grain boggles the mind with the clarity of sound and the brilliance of tone.
I have made a wise decision in choosing this guitar. It will serve me well for my remaining years.
This guitar support has many good features but also one flaw. The clamp system is excellent and holds the guitar securely and without scratching it. The height can be adjusted to suit any playing position. The leg rest is comfortable. The angle in the plane of the player is very adjustable. However, the positional range of the ball in the socket is limited, making an adjustement of the angle of the collar very limited. Because of that, it is not possible to angle the collar much towards the body. This leads to leg rest slippage, making constant adjustments needed to keep the guitar in palce. This aspect could be improved.
I installed the Sagework support on two guitars, one full-sized 650mm and the other a 7/8 scale classical using one stand and two sets of magnets. While the installation is not complicated, it is worth your time to review Youtube videos of the installation process. In particular, make sure you can get your hand into the sound hole and manipulate the magnet into place before using the adhesive to lock the magnet into position. I loosened the strings and then loosened them some more to facilitate access. I also removed the lower bout sliding adjustment arm to get the support a bit lower. I left the brace installed without adhesive for a few days to make sure everything was where I wanted. As noted, the magnets are very strong! Take your time and you'll be rewarded with a more comfortable playing position.
I received my Cordoba Esteso SP last week. Fit, finish, and set up was exactly as requested by Geoff. Could not be happier with the whole purchase process. Will be with me forever.
I’m very pleased with the quality of the guitar (Alhambra 4P) I purchased from XGuitars. I got the best deal on this guitar and I very much appreciated the personal interaction with Geoff. Also, free shipping and no sales tax made it an easy decision for an incomparable purchase.
I am very satisfied with the purchase made recently. The guitar was ordered and delivered one day early. I enjoy playing the Ramirez Guitarra del Tiempo Spruce Left Handed very much.
