2017 "New World" by Hill Guitar Company "650-S" SP/IN

This 2017 "New World" by Hill Guitar Company "650-S" is a classical guitar with a solid spruce top and solid Indian rosewood back and sides, made in China for Kenny Hill and set up in his California shop, with a standard 650 mm scale.

The Players Series

This is a "Players Series" guitar, the highest New World line, which pairs hand-selected solid tops of spruce or Western red cedar with solid rosewood for a richer bass, distinct trebles and powerful projection. Back and sides are solid Indian rosewood, the fingerboard is ebony and the neck Spanish cedar, with a bone nut and saddle and a double-acting truss rod.

Serious students and serious players will both find a lot to like here.

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.
