2007 Kenny Hill Hauser ’37 Classical Guitar

Kenny Hill has always had an eye, and an ear, for the guitar models that had a big influence on the development of the classical guitar. The 1937 Hauser, which Segovia played from 1938 until the early ’60s, is widely cited as the instrument that changed the public’s perception of the guitar, because Segovia toured so widely and was so influential.

This example was played quite a lot, although not recently, and since the top is finished in French polish there are light dings and scuffs to the surface. The wear isn’t the big dents and gouges you can’t ignore, instead this instrument has a pleasant “been played” patina. This guitar will allow you to get serious about your classical guitar playing without costing you serious money.
