This is
a new Hill Performance Lattice model in a Torres 1856 Parlor body size.
Features Kenny's Double Top with Hill lattice bracing for amazing sound.
It's designed for the player needing a smaller bodied instrument with
closer frets for an easier left hand reach.
Here's a smaller guitar with a large sound: double top, sound ports
and lattice bracing! Indian rosewood back and sides with handsome
ebony button Gotoh tuners. A phenomenal and special guitar for the
right player.
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
layered within the Solid East Indian Rosewood, while the Performance is
solid wood sides without the laminate; 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.
The guitars feature a marker dot at the seventh fret. The
Performance also has a 20th fret extension standard.

My own thoughts on this guitar....yeah baby. She's a growling
little monster with a big voice. The G string has a great attack,
with a nice full round sound to the entire guitar. The Cedar
Double Top, much like the Spruce Double Tops, evidences a wildness, untamed resonance and vibrancy, while lending
itself to the singing trebles that we all look for in a great concert
guitar. Amazingly, this guitar has a lot of balls, to put it
inelegantly. hehehe....'tis true though. You're thinking, no way,
smaller guitar, smaller voice. WRONG. She'll blow away most
anything you're playing now, and I don't care much what you're playing.
Easy to play, perfect for the smaller player for sure, she comes off
like a real parlor guitar, easy to pick up, and she loves to make music.
If this is the type of guitar you're looking for, don't hesitate...she's awesome. You'll love her.
I recorded this little monster this afternoon,
having another whooping good time. She is explosive, easy to play,
loud as all get out, with a super sensitivity. In all, a blast.
