The Hill Country (HC) series offers an acoustic voice pushed toward the far end of the tonal spectrum, with a strong fundamental that’s warm, woody, and dry, supported by a full, authoritative low end. This character will feel instantly familiar to bluegrass players and sits comfortably in any jam, while the guitar’s responsiveness and warmth make it equally versatile across a wide range of styles. All Hill Country models feature an Adirondack spruce top, along with thoughtful, understated details like a hand-poured pickguard, wedge, and rosette ring, plus a stamped logo on the back of the peghead and a clean, logo-free front. The 1-style (D1 A HC) pairs Honduran mahogany back and sides with tortoise body binding, a walnut backstrip, dot fingerboard inlays, and a clean, understated 1-style rosette.
