New World Guitars, founded by famed luthier Kenny Hill, are built in China.
From the New World website:
” In 1995 Kenny Hill traveled to Paracho, Mexico to begin building and importing the best quality guitars possible. Establishing the MASTER SERIES as a successful line of affordable hand-made instruments, he moved production to China in the early 2000’s establishing the NEW WORLD brand.
Kenny traveled to each manufacturing site, trained staff, overseeing the design, technique and quality control of each model. Kenny continues to visit production sites periodically to review guitar production. This enables us to provide remarkable guitars at remarkable prices.
The techniques and materials used to build New World Guitars are the same used on Hill Guitars in California. All instruments are given their final set up and adjustment in our shop in California before being offered for sale. We think you’ll agree we bring you traditional old world quality in our New World Guitars. “
