Hill Guitar started in my father’s Vermilion, Ohio garage back in 1989. It was kind of a strange time in my life. Friends were graduating from college around this time. After attending Electronics Technical School (ETI) for a short time (where I was not really a model student), I had dropped out and went into retail sales. The money wasn't bad and I could see a lot of career opportunities. Unfortunately I just couldn't envision myself doing this for the long term. I asked my self, "What do I really want to do with my life?" The answer I kept coming up with was that I wanted to build guitars.
Starting as far back as middle school in Bay Village, Ohio we were fortunate enough to have a Wood Shop, Art and Music Programs and even an Architecture class. I excelled at all of these - I loved it. I always felt like I was on a different path than the "normal," especially as the years went on. I never had made the connection that the classes that I had taken that I really enjoyed could have somehow turned into a career. It seemed like such a pipe dream.
One day I just decided that I should at least try it - if I fail then I fail but if I succeed, great! Not the most responsible choice and there were probably a hundred better ways to go about it, but nevertheless Hill Guitars Began ...
Simon Ambridge: Classical handmade guitars made in England by Simon Ambridge which owe their inspiration to the instruments of Antonio de Torres, Santos Hernandez and Hermann Hauser 1.
My guitars are constructed and in a controlled, dry atmosphere using only the finest and carefully selected seasoned tonewoods.
I use European spruce for the soundboards and Brazilian or Indian rosewood for the backs and sides, though I personally prefer Brazilian for its superior density and visual beauty. I have also used flamed maple and bird's eye maple as an alternative to the rosewoods which apart from being very beautiful when finished, produces a slightly dryer tone in the completed instrument.
Necks are Honduras mahogany or cedar and the heads are fitted using the traditional 'V' joint. The heads are faced with ebony or Brazilian rosewood and the centre joint is often inlaid with strips of decorative veneers to match the rosette. The head angle to the neck, at 9 degrees, is fairly shallow but combined with a slightly thicker soundboard creates the ideal string tension. Also the fingerboards are adjusted so that the bass side tapers down slightly towards the soundhole. This allows the height of the strings above the soundboard to remain the same at the bridge and contributes to the ease of playing ...
