2019 "New World" by Hill Guitar Company "640-S" SP/IN

This 2019 "New World" by Hill Guitar Company "640-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 640 mm scale.

A Players Series Guitar

The "Players Series" sits at the top of the New World range, with hand-selected solid tops of spruce or Western red cedar, chosen for a richer bass, distinct trebles and powerful projection. The specification is generous: solid Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard, Spanish cedar neck, bone nut and saddle, and a double-acting truss rod.

It has a slightly shorter 640 mm string length, for the player looking to avoid the bigger stretches required on standard-size guitars.

It is a guitar 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.
