Made In The U.S.A.
Designed to perform in the most critical situations of stage and studio
• Several important and unique features result in excellent string definition, attack,
  comfort, clean notes and most important, artistic expression
• Highly responsive to pick attack - You can get the notes to "pop" with a sparkling high end
• Patented bolt-on neck joint reduces the heel size for increased upper fret access.
  The neck is compressed to increase transfer of sound and feel. The neck is "locked"
  in place so it won't shift. Compressed, bolt-on design is the best wood-to-wood contact
  and results in a very lively, very active feeling instrument and gives you the benefit of a
  lively maple neck that can be coupled with several body woods and styles to
  achieve a desired tone.
• Conical radius fingerboard reduces hand tension and allows for a lower, cleaner action.
• Neck has a special oil treatment that won't slow you down under heat or friction.

The look and feel of a set-neck guitar is undeniable. Over the years we have made a lot of
set-neck guitars for other companies, well known for their quality of guitars. We spent a lot
of time evaluating these guitars before we developed our set-neck designs.

We found that a mahogany neck of a small heel set-neck design is not very rigid. There is
a long distance of fairly thin mahogany from heel to headstock which can easily be bent. If
you set the guitar down with the neck in open air, even gravity will bend the notes noticeably
sharp. As you would expect, the guitars had thickness but the mids and highs dropped off
and didn't compare with our High Performance guitars. Also, the neck did not feel as solid,
and the mahogany seemed to be "soaking" up the feel of the notes. We experimented
with maple necks and the feel and sound returned. However, the look suffered.

The solution was simple. We replace the heart of the mahogany neck with quartersawn maple.
The visible skin of the neck is mahogany, while the great majority of the neck is maple. This
extends from the tip of the heel to the tip of the headstock, under the faceplate. Further, we
also employ the use of linear carbon fiber. The neck is stronger and resonates better. The
mids, highs, string definition and attack are now prevalent and the neck feels alive and responsive.

The Performer Series are for unbound Set-Neck fanatics who want a great USA guitar, at an affordable price. These set-necks offer just that. The necks are unbound and less exotic finishes reduce the cost. But, the same craftsmanship is applied. The results are instruments that may not look as fancy, but are every bit the guitar to your hands and ears. After all, who needs a fancy finish under a sticker.

The heart of these guitars is as good as anything we make. Mahogany bodies. Soild, hard
maple necks. Good hardware, pickups, and Sperzel tuners. There is no compromise in the
quality of craftsmanship, or how they play and feel. So, why is the price so low and what
don't I get? First, the finishes of these guitars are far less costly to apply. All the necks
feature a hand rubbed urethane finish as do some of the bodies. Not fancy, but effective.

The bodies are simplified without fancy carves and the fingerboard is unbound. Also, the
options are limited. The hardshell case is a good, just not quite as nice as our expensive
guitars. There are a lot of players who aren't interesting in carvings, fancy tops, and finishes
that get covered with stickers. They want a solid, great guitar, that can take their abuse.
These are for you.

We put a lot of effort into the design of these guitars to offer very nice instruments at
excellent prices. Our U.S. made instruments are top of the line. These are good, which
means a good player can enjoy these guitars. The necks are solid, very good feeling with
the ability for low action. We incorporate the best available pickups and hardware in this
price range so you can get a heck of a good guitar at a great price. There is no need to
play games with the prices to hit "price points". We have no interest in cheap. A good
instrument has its price and there is no need to hide it or make it look better by not
including items like the case or using a cheap gig bag instead. The Masters Designs
include a nice hardshell case and are an excellent value.
