c.2019 Player Series Classical with Elevated Fingerboard & LR Baggs EAS Pickup
"Our Player Series guitars are new models we have been developing for some time. At a more accessible price, these guitar feature selected Indian rosewood, cedar, spruce and cypress: all solid woods, and a lacquer finish.
Once you've tried these guitars, we are confident you will agree we've delivered a remarkable line of finely-crafted instruments; they look great, are a joy to play and sound terrific." - From the Hill Website
The addition of sound ports is becoming more common on guitars today, and it is easy to understand why - they not only give the player an enhanced aural experience, but they kind of turbocharge the instrument. According to Kenny, "the ports allow more air to move in and out of the body of the guitar. This lets the soundboard vibrate more freely adding volume, openness, clarity, and depth to the sound for the listener." And the addition of an elevated fingerboard adds easy accessibility to the upper register of the guitar.
This guitar was originally purchased from us a few years ago and was very well maintained by its previous owner. As such, there is barely any wear to note outside of some very subtle scratches on the back of the guitar. We would rate this as being in EXCELLENT+ condition.
