HILL
“SUPER STRAT”
Handmade by
JON HILL2000
Not a guitar to be played by the weak!
"I have always been able to look at an instrument and see how I could make it better.” Jon Hill
About HILL Guitars.
Jon started HILL Guitars in 1989 in Vermillion, Ohio saying:
“HILL Guitars was formed out of a need for a more personalized, tailored instrument that would meet today’s demands. At Hill Guitars we only use the highest quality materials available. The overall instrument is handmade from beginning to end with special attention always given to comfort and sound quality.” Jon Hill
Who is Jon Hill?
Jon started HILL Guitars in 1989 and operated it until 1994 when he joined Dean Guitars and became head of their “Dean’s USA Custom Shop” in Florida.
He left Dean Guitars in 1998 to resume building his own guitars. This is one of those guitars.
From his tenure running the Dean USA Custom Shop to the ground breaking Hill Guitar models, Jon has over 25 years of building custom guitars and basses. As Jon toiled during his early years scrambling to make his dream a reality, he took opportunities to ghost build for several major companies so that he could make ends meet. Quality was always his hallmark and Jon quickly made a name for himself in the industry. Bootleg Guitars was congealed out of necessity by Jon Hill. As a long time designer and builder who has left his indelible mark on the landscape of many well-known brand names sold around the globe, Jon Hill is truly regarded as one of the world’s finest.
From Jon:
"I am extremely proud of the portfolio I have developed over the years, I love being in and around this industry and nothing makes me feel more alive than watching my stuff being played. Bootleg is really the start of a new legacy building on my experiences over the years to build great instruments for artists that want something special."
~ Jon Hill
THIS JON HILL GUITAR FROM 2000.
Stunning is a word often used to describe this Jon Hill guitar from my collection of “Super Strats”. Look at the photos to see its striking dramatic appearance. The coloring of the finish highlights the beautiful grain of the wood.
But do not doubt that this is a “monster” sound machine. It rips, roars, and screams. It is “heavy” in weight (10.5 lbs) that makes it even “heavier” in tone and resonance. I sometimes describe this as a “rock warrior’s guitar” because it is heavier than many other brands of super strats but that weight makes it a weapon to wield onstage. Play it for a couple hours onstage and you will be exhausted physically but elated from the music it has allowed you to blow away your audience. Not a guitar for the weak.
Details:BODY: SOLID SWAMP ASH. INCREDIBLE PIECE OF SOLID TONE WOOD.
FINISH: BEAUTIFUL BURST.
NECK: MAPLE BOLT ON.
TREMOLO: SCHALLER (licensed by FLOYD ROSE).
PICKUPS: Two (2) EMG '81s & One (1) COIL at neck.
FRETS: Heavy.
ACTIVE ELECTRONICS: See through plate on back lets you see how well the pots etc. have been installed and the QUALITY OF THE SHIELDING JON HAS USED. THE OVERALL CONDITION OF THIS GUITAR IS EXCELLENT. IT SHOWS SOME WEAR-dings, scratches, etc but is really a BEAUTIFUL SHOW PIECE.Comes with hard shell case.
