Definition, power, and playability—we don’t know how Michael Kennedy builds such energetic guitars, but we’re sure glad he does. This is our latest Indian Hill Grand Concert in Mahogany and Engelmann Spruce, with a few extra features under the hood. Namely, a small upper bout soyndport to keep the player in the know, and the installation of a tornavoz around the inside of the soundhole.
This GC is a particularly lively and loud guitar, exhibiting all the woody, dry characteristics of Mahogany that make for a quick and responsive instrument. Played with either flatpicks or fingertips, this Indian Hill is immensely fun; it’s easy to lose track of time. The back and sides and neck are finished in satin, and your left hand slides oh so smoothly along the neck. It’s really one of those guitars that practically plays itself. The pinless bridge makes for quick string changes and eliminates the risk of launching a bridge pin off the top and into your audience—set off with spalted appointments here and the rosette.
Brand new but already a livewire tone machine! Our latest Indian Hill GC is a hearthrob you won’t want to miss.
