                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Yes Arjen, I went to the Dean site and see no more Avalanche MQL or Vendetta 1.0 and my local dealer told me no more Vendetta in lefty this year.<br><br>I saw all the new humbucker models you mentioned but no lefties. Looks like they are backing off from making lefties.<br><br>There is a Dean dealer on ebay who still has the other models in stock. I would like to have one of those Avalanche MQL's for $383 with the flamed finished top but more serious about maybe buying the Vendetta 1.0 for $269, which means I would be selling my Fender DG-10 and Jay Turser Telecaster when I get it back from the factory for a little problem with the nut and a 'proper setup'. The person who buys the tele will get a much better guitar than I got off the assembly line. The Fender is just a disappointment because I am used to playing a better quality guitar and the Fender string height is so high, it is unreasonable and unmanageable for me. The plan was to buy a cheaper acoustic to take out to lessons but I have learned that you can't go down in quality, only up. I have to use the Dean Performer SE at all times when I practice with acoustic.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Yes Arjen, gotta love those Deans. I like the way they make them and their set up and Grover tuners. I think I am going to sell off a couple other guitars I am not happy with and get another Dean.<br><br>But it looks like they cut down on their lefty production. Seems they no longer make the upgraded avalanche in quilted maple or the Vendetta hardtail. There are still Dealers who have them though I have seen on e-bay, no bargain prices, just the standard going rate with a buy it now option.<br><br>A Schector Omen 6 is another guitar I hear nothing but good things about. I just lost out on one on ebay yesterday that was hardly used and could have had it for $100 under regular cost and been happy but...sometimes I just don't bid quite high enough, always looking for that awesome deal to get me jumping up and down. Sort of a hobby. There will be another down the road.]]></content:encoded>
