The finely-tuned electrics and the solid construction also work to eliminate on-stage feedback. If you need more airiness, or a dryer tone, the balance between the body sensor and the undersaddle pickup is adjusted easily with an onboard blend knob. An under-saddle transducer is paired with an internal dual-body sensor microphone setup for a healthy balance of clarity and airiness: the under-saddle piezo transducer provides the clarity and attack, while the body sensor system offsets that with a more natural sound. The entire electronics loadout is the result of Cordoba partnering with Fishman to develop an all-new system, one that outputs the best possible amplified sound from the guitar. First, the build: the body is made of fully-chambered mahogany, meaning the spruce top can vibrate freely for a full, clear unamplified sound, and for optimal sound transfer into the under-saddle pickup and the internal sensors.Īnd the under-saddle pickup is no ordinary unit. But given Cordoba’s reputation for top-of-the-line nylon-string guitars, it wasn’t exactly going to stake its name on something that sounds anything less than excellent.īoth the Stage’s build and electrics work to make it sound like an authentic nylon-string guitars. We have something for everyone, and with more to come, you’re sure to find an instrument you’ll love at ASN.In making a hybrid instrument, there’s always the risk of it becoming a ‘jack of all trades, master of none’. So here we are, with a representative selection of fine Kenny Hill guitars for sale.
I left the workshop feeling charged and ready to bring the entire line-up of Kenny Hill guitars to All Strings Nylon. There’s a real sense of ownership and pride that’s shared amongst the team. It’s very apparent how dedicated everyone is, as is their commitment to bring you the very best guitars possible. We talked about guitars as we toured the facility, and I got to meet the entire Hill Guitars crew. I had the pleasure of traveling out to California and spending a day with Kenny in his Ben Lomond workshop.

Whether it be a top-of-the-line Signature or Performance Series concert guitar built in California, an intermediate Player guitar, or an entry-level Estudio guitar emerging from his Chinese workshop, each Kenny Hill guitar for sale possesses a magical quality that reflects the sensitivity and sensibility he’s acquired over his 40 years as a designer and builder.
This is worth noting, as his relationship to the people who build his New World guitars is far from remote. The facility where these guitars were created is one which he was instrumental in setting up. He also designed an entire line of high-quality yet moderately priced intermediate and entry-level guitars, which were built to his specifications by craftsmen in China that he personally trained.
The Kenny Hill guitar line emerged after he started focusing on his own innovative designs and began building higher-end concert guitars. He has invented and reinvented himself over the years, first building intuitively, then copying some of the masters: Torres, Fleta, Hauser, and Rodriguez, just to name a few. One of America’s premier luthiers, Kenny Hill has been designing and building nylon string guitars for a very long time.
