Solid Spruce top. Rosewood back and sides.

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.

(see rating details)
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.
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.
