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

Article, video and audio of this guitar is available online at the Acoustic Guitar Magazine website and in print.

Just Added - This guitar is now available for sale in our showroom.

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

640 PERFORMANCE Flamed Maple

Here's the latest in a variety of PERFORMANCE models, now available. This is a shorter scale 640mm version of Kenny's new double top/lattice-braced PERFORMANCE series.

The PERFORMANCE model features the familiar SIGNATURE sound ports.

This one has beautiful flamed maple back and sides - go to the SHOWROOM for more photos and specs.

Double tops have been featured on the SIGNATURE series for many years, and now Kenny has added lattice bracing to the double top in the PERFORMANCE series, while simplifying the model in order to lower costs.

The net result is a double top guitar starting at $1500 less than a SIGNATURE.

It sounds amazing - very powerful and loud, and yet has sweet and delicate qualities sure to please the discriminating performer. With 640mm string length, it plays easily, and would be perfect for a smaller player.
