The Performance Series is the newest line of fine guitars designed and built in my California workshop. These guitars offer a great sounding high-quality modern concert instrument at a medium price. The Performance Series is handmade in the traditional Spanish style, with the integral body and neck joint, and incorporates a modern double top soundboard, with lattice or fan-bracing. Sound ports are standard, unless requested otherwise. I officially introduced Performance models at the NAMM show in January 2010. The response was great from players and dealers alike. |

To contrast the Performance with the Signature, the most significant
difference is the Signature's elevated fingerboard, while the
Performance has a traditional fingerboard. The Signature has laminated cypress sides, while the Performance is solid wood sides; the Signature has V joint for the head, the performance has a traditional scarf joint; the tuners on the Performance are Gotoh, rather than the Sloane tuners on the Signature. The Performance has a simpler binding and purfling scheme with contrasting mahogany bindings which set off the outline of the instrument in a striking and beautiful way. Both guitars feature a marker dot at the seventh fret. The Performance has a 20th fret extention standard. |

The
Performance Series offers an excellent, world class guitar at a
workable price. There are differences between the Performance and
Signature models, but they are both very exciting to play, and they
both are of a quality and superiority that belies their prices. The
Performance Series guitars' unique features, great sound and world
class quality are unavailable at this price anywhere.
