  Spruce Model Shown

Player Series

The Kenny Hill Player Series guitars are new models that have been in development for some time. At a more accessible price, these guitar feature selected Indian rosewood, cedar, spruce and cypress: all solid woods, and a thinly applied lacquer finish.

The Player series offers the player a wide variety of choices: each model is available with a spruce or cedar soundboard, 650mm or shorter 640mm string lengths.  Incredibly, the Spruce tops have silk rays or medullar rays throughout, highly prized and they really do sound terrific.  The Cedar tops have beautiful straight grain, with a lush ruddy look to them, sounding warm and wet.  The Indian Rosewood backs and sides are also superior.  You might expect to see these types of woods selected for guitars well over $3000 or more in price.

Once you've tried these guitars, I am confident you will agree that once again, Kenny Hill has delivered a remarkable line of finely-crafted instruments; they look great, are a joy to play and sound terrific.

Players with shorter hands and/or fingers should seriously consider the 640mm or the 628mm scale.  My fitting sessions with numerous players over the years has proven that this slightly smaller scale is simply more comfortable for the majority of players, while sacrificing nothing in terms of tone and volume.  The difference is the length of the neck, the width of the nut at 48-51mm and the proportional fretting of the instrument. 

The 650mm is suitable for those players whose spread between thumb and pinky is 9" or greater

The 640mm is suitable for those players whose spread between thumb and pinky is 8"-9"

The 628mm is suitable for those players whose spread between pinky and thumb is 7"-8"

The 615mm is suitable for those players whose spread between pinky and thumb is 6"-7"
