A NEW CLASSIC CROSSOVER MODEL
BACK to NEWS
HILL GUITAR COMPANY announces the release of a new model of nylon string guitar, the CLASSIC CROSSOVER MODEL. Aimed at guitar players who are accustomed to the neck of a steel string, electric or arch top guitar, but want to play a fine nylon string guitar. The HILL GUITAR CLASSIC CROSSOVER MODEL is an excellent, concert grade, hand made nylon string guitar, featuring a narrower neck and cutaway.
Most steel string players have never played a truly fine nylon string guitar, or if they have, the width of the classical neck can be uncomfortable for a non-classical player. There is a huge difference between commercial grade classical instruments in most music stores, and a fine handmade nylon string guitar. The beauty of nylon strings is in the tone colors it can produce, and it takes light weight construction and a finesse of building to bring those colors out. Although many well-known steel string guitar companies have tried to make nylon string guitars, they come up short, because the basic engineering of a nylon string is lighter, and very different in many other subtle (and not so subtle) ways.
HILL GUITAR COMPANY has been making wonderful classical guitars for over thirty years, and that experience makes this new CLASSIC CROSSOVER MODEL a sensual and elegant instrument for a player who wants to explore the beautiful sounds and the smooth playing of a fine nylon string guitar.
