I am thoroughly enjoying my Ramirez Estudio 140. My earlier classical guitar was the basic factory produced Ramirez I bought at Guitar Center in early 2000s. The quality of the Estudio 140 far surpass what I had before. The sound is amazing and the setup was perfect. I enjoy playing it so much other areas of my life are starting to suffer.
Only use this product when playing and Practicing and remove right after, Fast shipping good service.
I recently purchased this guitar from xGuitars based on an internet search for Classical guitars. I looked at several different brands and settled on the Alhambra. I chose xGuitars from the reviews and research. I could not be more satisfied with entire process from placing the order, stringing it with the suggested Savarez Corum New Cristal strings, to delivery! They even held my shipment until the cold snap subsided which I appreciated. Now it is a gorgeous guitar, expertly built and I love the tonal qualities. I have not played it much yet but will find time to fit it in my arsenal. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to make purchase. Big shoutout to Geoff Ferdon and his staff for a great job and an easy website to make the purchase. Lastly, the Gig bag that came with the guitar is first class and probably the best that I have seen and I have several Taylor acoustics with Gig bags not as nice.
Finally got around to restringing my guitar with Knobloch Carbon Actives and they sound amazing. These strings have pure, natural tone, very full and well balanced. They have great intonation and carry more sustain. I'm very happy with these strings. Definitely worth the price. Thanks Geoff!
I'm very satisfied and pleased with purchasing the left-handed Alhambra 9P model from Xguitars. The guitar is perfectly made and is an absolute joy to play. Many thanks to Geoff for all his help.
Lovely capo! It works well. I love that he includes instructions for repair so it can last a long, long time. One thing I would suggest is including brief instruction, or a link to instruction, as to how to put the capo on and take it off the guitar.
Arrived ahead of schedule, the sound is amazing.
The recommendation to use these strings paid off!
Thank you again for an excellent recommendation.
I recently ordered from X Guitars a set of Cantiga 510 AJ strings to try on my
Cordoba orchestra ce. I am really pleased with the results and will definitely
order more.
I recently received my Ramírez Del Tiempo spruce. Fantastic guitar! Setup was spot on. Has the Ramírez sound and I think it is a steal for $3000. I play all styles and have been playing on and off for 60 years. Easy to play. Geoff did a wonderful job. I recommend players check out this beauty.
All the best,
Charlie
This was my birthday gift from my daughter. Geoff recommended me this guitar for the budget I like to spend on her. I am hoping this would be my significant upgrade from the one I have been playing for the last 12 years. It arrived on time as promised. Tune it and played. I am very pleased with the sound quality, the craftmanship and the beauty of the instrument. The set up is spot on. Geoff was being upfront with me that this instrument was a 2024 model. Overall, I had a very good experience in getting this guitar from Geoff and I would recommend Xguitars to anyone.
I gave my guitar to my granddaughter for Christmas, and ordered for it the D'Addario EJ43 Pro Arte
Light Tension Classical Guitar Strings. They are exactly as was promised on the XGuitars website. I received an email at every stage of tracking. They arrived on the day they were promised. They were in secure, sealed packaging. I had no issues while dealing with XGuitars. I do not see how this experience could have been any better. My granddaughter loves the feel of the strings. She has the outer packaging so she can reorder when she needs to. No doubt she will. Thank you, Geoff!
I recently purchased the Alhambra Premier Pro Madagascar from XGuitars, and the guitar is a beauty! The aesthetics of the guitar, the action, the balance and the sound of the guitar are wonderful. Doing business with Geoff Ferdon was professional. Geoff Ferdon is very knowledgeable about guitars, and I was confident doing business with him. I have been playing guitars for 55 years and have had many guitars. This guitar surely lives up to its reputation for the price ratio. I would recommend this guitar and XGuitars with no hesitation to anyone looking to purchase a classical guitar. This is the online place to shop. Thank you to Geoff Ferdon.
Being new to classical guitar strings, I decided to go with this recommendation. They sure enhanced the sound of my Alhambra 4P. XGuitars will be my source when I need new strings and need advice.
I am very satisfied with the 4P. The craftsmanship and sound extended my expectations. It is such a pleasure to play and it inspires me each time I play it. Without hesitation, I will recommend XGuitars and it will be my source for any new guitar and strings.
I purchased these because I was looking for smooth tuning machines and the deluxe posts with guide bushings promised that. The install was a straight fit - super easy but performance-wise, I'm not impressed. The high E string is super hard to turn compared to the others and the D string still has the occasional pop when tightening the string. The tuning machines look great but don't perform for the $ paid. I don't recommend these.
This review was generated as a result of me purchasing a set of midsized arms for a Sageworks support I had bought earlier. There's not much to say about that. But the Sageworks support devices are first class. Holds the guitar in a great playing position and makes for a very stable and comfortable set up. I've tried all kinds of supports and these work best for me. I never pick up my guitar without using a Sageworks support also. And the service and responsiveness of XGuitars is always 1st class.
I cannot say enough good things about this guitar and the customer service Geoff provided. The guitar arrived in perfect condition and the pictures online do not do it justice. During the entire process Goeff was quick to answer my questions and concerns. Loving my new guitar, it sounds great and is a joy to play. Very happy I found Xguitars
It is so great to have businesses and people who still take pride in their work. This was I found with Xguitars and Geoff. He did what he said he would do and delivered my guitar on the time he said and in perfect condition and at the exact price he quoted. Thanks for my beautiful Hanika double top guitar.
What a relief to have professional machines. These are exceptional tuners and very precise. I cannot imagine not having them on my next guitar. As usual, Geoff's service was timely and professional.
Very happy that I found X guitars online I purchased the Alhambra 5P CW E8. The guitar is beautiful and plays wonderfully. The entire purchase went very smoothly from the advice to receiving the perfectly setup instrument. Thanks to Geoff for his attention to all the details!
Excellent service with very fast shipping! Recommended!
I recently purchased my Alhambra 10 Premier from XGuitars, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. From start to finish, it was clear that this isn’t just a business — it’s run by someone who truly knows and cares about classical guitars.
Geoff was incredibly helpful throughout the process. He guided me to the right instrument without ever overselling, answered all of my questions promptly (despite the busy holiday season), and ensured that I was confident and comfortable before making a decision. Communication was timely and professional the entire way.
When the guitar arrived, it was beautifully set up — thanks also to the Sageworks support and upgraded case — and in pristine condition. The quality and sound of the Alhambra 10 Premier truly impressed not only me but also my guitar instructor, who praised its tone and craftsmanship.
What stood out most was the personalized attention and genuine care that Geoff puts into every sale. I felt supported as a customer, not just another order number — and that level of service is reflected in the many glowing testimonials from other buyers who share similar positive experiences.
I wholeheartedly recommend XGuitars to anyone looking for a high-quality classical guitar and a seamless, trustworthy purchasing experience.
I gave been one of Geoff's clients for a while. I have bought two (soon to be three) high-end guitars from him and I have always been extremely satisfied. I have always been pleasantly surprised by his friendliness, exquisite attention to derail, and advise in general. This purchase was just lik others: fast and seamless. Even though somethings, e.g., strings may be marginally more expensive, i prefer to give him my business given his dedication to my musical needs. I recommend Geoff highly -- he knows guitars very wel. If you need something, have a question, need advice, do not hesitate to call him.
Great purchase of a Cordoba C10CD guitar. The guitar was professionally setup at no additional cost, and the price was competitive. Geoff Ferdón is a really nice guy, very helpful and informative. I could not be happier!
