2017 "New World" by Hill Guitar Company "650-CE" CD/IN

This 2017 "New World" by Hill Guitar Company "650-CE" is a classical guitar with a solid cedar top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, made in China for Kenny Hill and set up in his California shop – heard in Peter Fletcher's Satie on this page.

New World Players Series

Top of the New World line, the "Players Series" offers a hand-selected solid soundboard – spruce or Western red cedar – for richer basses, distinct trebles and the powerful projection players want. Solid Indian rosewood back and sides, an ebony fingerboard, a Spanish cedar neck, bone nut and saddle, and a double-acting truss rod round out the build.

The "CE" Model: Elevated Fingerboard and Sound Ports

In addition to the standard features, this "CE" model has an elevated fingerboard and sound ports. According to Hill Guitars, they have been porting some of their instruments for well over a decade, and find that it gives players a better sense of how the guitar sounds and can increase its perceived output.

Made for serious students and serious players alike.

New World Guitars by Kenny Hill

"New World" guitars are made exclusively for Kenny Hill in China – in a factory in Guangzhou of which Kenny is a founding shareholder – with the same commitment to quality found in the Hill guitars made in California. Every instrument is given its final setup and adjustment in Hill's shop in California before being offered for sale, reflecting Kenny's commitment to giving players reasonably priced guitars without compromising quality.
