Well the playability was the same of course. The player did have less bling, no rosette, lower end electronics, and a gig bag instead of a hardshell case. But the most important difference was that the player version had their lower end bracing, whatever that meant. So supposedly you should be able to hear a difference between the two - but the one time I tried I couldn't really tell them apart. I rather liked the elegantly simple appearance of the player versions better than the performer.
