Background
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.
Kenny Hill
Kenny Hill is a California guitarist, composer and guitar maker. Since 1989 he has built copies of the great historical guitars in his "Master Series", and his own modern Signature and Performance models – with double tops, lattice bracing and sound ports – are made by hand in his workshop in Ben Lomond, near Santa Cruz. He is also designer emeritus for Cordoba Guitars.
