1999 Kenny Hill Louis Panormo Replica Short Scale Parlor Early Romantic Guitar

Description

Offered for sale, a Louis Panormo replica built by the Hill shop in 1999 as part of the Masters series. The Masters series comprised of replicas of the great makers of the past including Fleta, Ramirez, Rodriguez, and Torres among others. This particular one, the London model, is a rarer offering from that line.
It is ideally dimensioned for those seeking a shorter scale, and a wonderful choice for those seeking a contemporary iteration of these early guitars for period pieces.
Specs:
-630mm scale
-50mm nut
-56mm string spacing
-Spruce top / rosewood back and sides
-French Polish finish
-Sloane leaf tuners
-Custom fit hard case
The guitar is in very good condition overall, with numerous marks and wear evident in the delicate French polish, but it maintains its luster. There is some wear in the wood by the tuning posts in the headstock. Other than the deeper marks pictured in the side and the slight indent on one of the headstock wings a repolish could bring it back to near new, although to me it has a nice played-in patina as it is.
You will be stunned by the amount of sound and quality of sound that comes from this guitar. It is also playing nicely with an easy string height of about 3mm to 2.5mm from bass to treble.
The hard case is a perfect fit for this guitar, which is not always the situation with unusually dimensioned bodies. The middle latch is a little bit loose but it is solid and sturdy and also includes a shoulder strap.
This guitar has so much utility and is right at home as a couch cuddler (albeit a serious one) or as a performance instrument.
