Performance Guitar

Jul 2025

I'm kind of speechless. My guitars have always played nicely. But not like this. Not even close. This is some sort of magic. I dropped off 2 guitars. Had a bridge replacement on one, new nut on the other. Both got fret work and intonated, as well as neck adjustments. Picked them up 5 days later. Both instruments are the best playing guitars I have ever put my hands on. I didn't even know it was possible for a guitar to play/feel like this. Tuning stability is out of this world. I honestly can't say enough nice things. I am absolutely blown away. I'm never letting another shop touch my guitars ever again. Performance guitar will change your life.

I first went to Performance Guitar when I was a teenager back in the early 1980s. They were on Yucca Street in Hollywood at the time. Even back then, Kenny already had big name clients like Frank Zappa, Steve Vai, and Warren De Martini. Later, he would do custom work for Joe Walsh and Warren Cuccurullo, among many others. In 2021, I brought in my Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster for a setup and fret dress and my Fender American Fretless Jazz Bass for its first setup. Kenny did a great job with both guitars. His attention to detail is unmatched. There is nobody else who works on Fenders like Kenny. He worked alongside Leo Fender at Fender for many years back in the day, so he knows his stuff. Kenny's own line of hand-made custom guitars are highly regarded. Highly recommended.

Had Kenny work on my fender Stratocaster that was sounding thin and horrible. A friend of mine told me to give him a shot, and boy let me tell he brought it to life. It went from my worst guitar to my favorite guitar, plays smooth like butter and sounds amazing. I will only take my guitars to him now thanks, Kenny.
