| Quality:
| After having to return my last performer due to a packing problem at the Dean factory in China, I really gave this replacement a very thorough inspection. The quality of this instrument was outstanding. This is my first Chinese made Dean and I have to say that they were very quality conscience on this guitar. |
| Reliability:
| I haven't had any problems with my other Dean acoustics so I don't anticipate any with this one either. Besides, I just got it today. |
| Overall:
| Overall, I'm very happy with this fine instrument. |
| Playability and Feel:
| This guitar feels very good considering it's small body. I have a Dean Artist series guitar that has a thinner body but not as small a bout as this guitar, but it doesn't feel as small. It plays great whether strumming or fingerpicking. |
| Tone:
| I think this guitar has good tone when playing acoustically, but it really comes alive when it's plugged in! I'm not not too crazy with the Dean electronics that I have in my Exotiglass, or in other Deans that I've played with their electronics, but I have to say that this guitar's electronics sound as good or maybe better than my Fishman equipped Tribal Artist. And it sounds fantastic! |
| Finish:
| This finish on this guitar is quite stunning. I really love the blueburst color and the Abalone inlay around the soundhole is beautiful! It really looks great on the blue finish. |
| Action:
| The action was exceptionally low for an acoustic. I don't know if Dean has read my mind and knows how I like my action on my acoustics or maybe it's because I own 6 other Deans and they are just all really set up well and to my preference! Either way, keep it up Dean! |

| Subject: | Dean Performer E a great guitar for the money |
| Quality:
| quality and looks of this guitar are great |
| Reliability:
| Only had it for a short time, but no complaints |
| Overall:
| I researched this product before buying it, and I own a 1964 Gibson country guitar that was my fathers. The sound of the Dean is as good as the Gibson, and the action is incredible for an acoustic guitar. I've been playing bass and electric lead for the last few years, and the ease of moving to acoustic was made easy by the Dean. |
| Playability and Feel:
| This guitar is light and fast to play, with great action. Controls right on top where you can access them and see them. |
| Tone:
| With a bass, middle, treble and presence control, as well as a volume and tuner, this guitar has everything you need. |
| Finish:
| The guitar I purchased, (Blue Burst), is gorgeous. |
| Action:
| Action an playability out of the box is great. |
