Performance Model in Acoustic Guitar Magazine November 2010

"With its extroverted sound, easy playability, and clean craftsmanship, this modern guitar in traditional guise has a lot to offer someone looking for a concert-quality classical with exceptional balance and a warm, punchy tone with wide dynamic range. In short, the Performance series may be the best manifestation yet of Kenny Hill’s desire to provide concert-quality guitars, in accessible quantities, at affordable prices." - Michael Millham, ACOUSTIC GUITAR MAGAZINE , November 2010

PERFORMANCE CROSSOVER IS HERE

NEW HILL PERFORMANCE CROSSOVER model

THIS is what fingerstyle players have been waiting for:

a nylon stringed instrument with a powerful and beautiful acoustic sound with a narrower neck and a radiused fingerboard.

Our Hill Master Series CROSSOVER played rings around other crossover nylon stringed guitars whose diminished acoustic sound has been a disappointment to many. The PERFORMANCE, however, as a classical instrument has already demonstrated it will become a new standard against which mid-priced modern classical guitars will be measured: incredible quality sound projection.

Hallmarks of the PERFORMANCE are:

• nomex double top w. spruce & cedar
• lattice bracing
• all solid woods
• truss rod
• bone nut & saddle
• French polish finish
• Indian rosewood back & sides

In addition, the standard PERFORMANCE CROSSOVER features:

• 1 7/8" [48mm] radiused ebony fingerboard at the nut
• lattice bracing
• cutaway
• optional Schatten pickup install

Base price with case $5495
