The Kenny Hill 2005 Torres guitar is a remarkable instrument designed to echo the first-epoch period when Antonio Torres was based in Sevilla. Inspired by Torres' historical craftsmanship, this guitar exudes an air of refinement and sophisticated elegance. Boasting a compact body design, the Hill 2005 Torres model is slightly smaller than standard guitars, making it an ideal choice for players seeking a more manageable instrument without compromising on sound. The guitar employs a classic Torres fan bracing system, using seven fans in a configuration that Torres himself often applied to smaller bodied guitars. The guitar's smaller body, string length, and intricate fan bracing system, produce a powerful sound that belies its compact size. Expect robust, resonant bass tones paired with clear, ringing highs that will leave audiences mesmerized. This guitar has a beautiful spruce soundboard. Meanwhile, the back and sides of the guitar are crafted from tightly flamed maple, adding to the instrument's beauty and sound quality. In summary, the Kenny Hill 2005 Torres guitar is a splendid amalgamation of Torres' heritage and Hill's innovation. Its beautiful design and quality materials, combined with its strong, full concert sound, make it an ideal choice for guitarists seeking a smaller instrument that does not compromise on sound quality. As a pre-loved instrument, the top of this beautiful instrument has one well-repaired crack on the lower-bout area that is purely aesthetical. Nevertheless, this guitar is in good condition, with some playing marks. Whether you're a seasoned performer or an enthusiastic amateur, this guitar will deliver an outstanding playing experience.

Classical Guitar
The classical guitar, with its soft nylon strings and characteristic timbre, has become a symbol of chamber music, Spanish tradition, and concert repertoire. Its modern form was shaped by Antonio de Torres in the 19th century, setting the standard for the body, fan bracing, and the 65-centimeter scale length that are still used today. Instruments in this category open up a rich palette from the refined Romantic miniatures of Tárrega to the majestic concertos of Rodrigo. Here you will find guitars that preserve historical continuity and at the same time inspire new interpretations.Look all products of the collection -
