Overview

About the luthier

Stephen Hill is an English guitar maker in Granada, Spain. In his inspiring career, he evolved from a talented flamenco guitarist to one of the most exciting and best builders of Spanish guitars on the market today. His inspiration came from legendary guitar makers and guitarists with whom he built close relationships and friendships. Among others, one can mention Antonio Marin Montero, Paco Pena, Manuel Reyes, etc. Stephen Hill crafts fantastic Spanish guitars but shares his passion and knowledge with some talented students, from whom we have also received some very skillfully worked guitars.

About the guitar

This extraordinary guitar was specially crafted for the first-prize winner of the 2023 Andrés Segovia Guitar Competition, who turned out to be left-handed. Although built in 2023, the guitar remains in brand-new condition. As a traditionally constructed instrument, it embodies the strong, unmistakable characteristics of southern Spanish guitars. The cedar soundboard adds a rich warmth to its tonal profile, while the Ziricote back and sides are nothing short of breathtaking, combining striking aesthetics with premium tonal qualities. This guitar is a powerful concert instrument, perfectly suited for any playing situation, while retaining the authentic charm and spirit of a classic Spanish guitar.

Stephen Hill 2023 Segovia No. 282 Classical Guitar Review

While this guitar is sold, these are ready for you

  • Classical Guitars

    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.
