Product Description

zZounds is an
authorized Dean dealer

The Performer acoustics combine the popular mini-jumbo body design, traditional features and innovative design. With models featuring solid Spruce tops, Rosewood back and sides, one of a kind Dean wing sound hole inlays, extended fingerboards, Shadow 5-band equalizers, mother-of-pearl inlays and Grover tuners, the Dean Performers are much in demand. Dean has taken acoustic guitars to a revolutionary new level with the addition of the new 7-string Performer SE7. Wait until you hear the low B on a Dean acoustic through a Shadow P7 preamp! We topped off the line with the majestic full tone of the 12-string Performer SE12.

"The only way to make it better is to teach it to cook!"

Sound: This is perhaps the best sounding (plugged in) e/a I have ever played. the shadow pickup is truely outstanding. The tone is not greatly effected by the cutaway as is the case in many guitars. In the price range, nothing even comes close. Quality: I got the natural finish. The wood is nice and the inlay both on body and neck is awesome. Value: As I said above, nothing even comes close in this price range. The Wow Factor: I think its the sharpest guitar available under $1000. Overall: Ive had mine for a couple of years and have been offered my money back for it a dozen times. Ive been offered a trade for MUCH more expensive guitars but I think I'll keep it.

Style of Music: studied classical, prefer classic rock, can play and teach 14 instruments

"unbelievable fret action!!!rich tone!!plays like a dream even after 4 years!!!!"

Sound: sounds best when used with Elixer strings!!!! if you use cheep strings the nice tone will be VERY short lived! awesome fret board action!!!!! plays very smoothly!!! can be used with a style for picks, or fingers!!!! its ALL good!!!! i've had mine since 2001, and it STILL plays sweet!!! this guitar is PERFECT for new guitar players learning bar chords Feature: had to buy the pick-gaurd seperately. but, the on-guitar equalizer is VERY handy!!!! Quality: used on a contant basis....but, better when stored correctly in case! stays alot truer! Manufacturer Support: never had any issues! Overall: meets all goals! this is my primary guitar!!!! fits all my needs!!! and plays like a dream!!!!!

Style of Music: ALL types of music.........Christian lyrics ; - )
