2021 Kenny Hill New World Player Crossover Classical Guitar / P650CFS / w/ Baggs Pickup. In excellent condition. Comes with Humicase OHSC. Would be labeled mint but for a finish dig from a string just below the 2nd string (see photo). Recently installed LR Baggs EAS-VTC-N Element Active System w/ Volume and Tone Control for Nylon String Guitar. Very nice.
The Kenny Hill New World Player Fingerstyle model is the perfect guitar for the serious amateur, or for that matter, even a pro looking for an instrument with a thinner neck (48mm at the nut) and a cutaway for easier accessibility to the upper register. This is a great fingerstyle jazz instrument, but certainly fits the bill for other styles where a nylon string sound is desired. The Player Fingerstyle rivals guitars costing much more, not only in terms of sound and playability, but also materials and workmanship.
Designed by master luthier Kenny Hill, each Player Fingerstyle is meticulously crafted to Kenny's specifications in a boutique shop in China that he set up, and by a team of artisans, some of whom he personally trained. These are all solid Indian rosewood back and sides and solid cedar top guitars with narrow Spanish cedar necks, ebony fretboards and a very thin PU finish. They are tastefully appointed with dyed and natural wood purflings, rosewood bindings, and an attractive traditional motif rosette. A two-way adjustable truss rod allows for fine-tuning the action for optimal playability.
