Kenny Hill New World Player Fingerstyle P650FIN-S This consignment guitar circa 2018 is in excellent shape, literally brand-new. This is the perfect guitar for the serious amateur, or for that matter, even a pro looking for an instrument with a cutaway for easier accessibility to the upper register. This is a great Jazz or Bossa Nova instrument that rivals guitars costing much more, not only in terms of sound and playability, but materials and workmanship.
Designed by master luthier Kenny Hill, each Player with Cutaway 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. Don't underestimate these instruments just because they were built offshore. These are all solid Indian rosewood back and sides and solid spruce top guitars with 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. The Player P650FIN is definitely a cut above just about anything you will find in this price range. I give these guitars a once-over in my shop to optimize them further if necessary. Comes with a deluxe hardshell case.
