2020 Kenny Hill "Special CD/SP" CD/IN

This is a slightly modified Kenny Hill "Signature" guitar, which has been named the "Special" model, as indicated on the label. Like the "Signature" models we've had in the past, this guitar features a "double top" (pioneered originally by Dammann, Wagner, and others) composed of a Nomex core (an ultra light cell structure), "sandwiched" between two very thin layers of spruce (on the underside) and cedar (on the outside). This makes for an extremely light and efficient soundboard, but is domed in such a way as to maximizes stiffness at the same time - very important for both the sound quality and structural stability. Outwardly it seems just like a normal cedar soundboard. This technique is borrowed from ultra light aviation technology. It is braced using a lightweight system of lattices for a durable but flexible system. Other similar features include dual soundports, raised fingerboard, truss rod for easily adjusting the neck and 20th fret for players requiring a high C natural. The only differences are the use of "doubled sides" (in this case the internal layer is cypress) and a different rosette design. Although used, the guitar is in excellent condition with no prior damage or repairs, only some very minor wear in the finish.
