Why Upgrade?

Performance Grade Instruments are made  from better quality materials using more hand-craftsmanship.

This results in improved sound and tonal quality, better feel and response, and overall enhanced playability.   

These structural improvements lead to increased confidence, motivation,  and enthusiasm as well as a better sound!
