Kenny Hill Torres FE-18 Classical Guitar (used, 2009)

Kenny Hill's own words regarding this guitar: "The Brazilian rosewood one was made with wood salvaged from an 18th or 19th century desk. I also used some Spanish cedar that I had salvaged from a gold rush era central California bar top, worn down where the beer glasses had been slid over the years, complete with bullet holes. I also had a hundred-year-old German spruce top, so with these old, old materials this guitar echoes with ghosts from two centuries.”

  • Spanish Cedar neck
  • Accurate reproduction of original Torres FE-18 rosette & purflings - Super Fine!
