Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
Another lovely little Hill guitar. With a hybrid "doubletop" and East Indian Rosewood back and sides, this instrument has clarity, drama, and an overtone rich voice that will bring your playing to life. The Hill Guitar Company's elevated fingerboard and top ports add so much unique quality to the playing experience of these guitars that there is simply nothing that quite compares!
SP Luthier Notes: Fret dress, polish fingerboard, and setup

Kenny Hill is one of the most accomplished, experienced and versatile classical guitar makers in the world today. He is recognized as a fine maker, player, teacher and innovator. He has worked as an individual luthier, in small workshops as well as in large factory settings, to bring fine guitars to thousands of players of all levels around the world.
Kenny Hill began building guitars in the mid 1970's, first in Santa Barbara, CA, then later in the Santa Cruz area. In 1978 he was awarded one of the first California Arts Council grants to an individual artist for his work as a guitar builder and guitarist. During that time he was instructor of guitar on the faculty at University of California, Santa Cruz, where he taught for 3 years.
