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.
I saw all the new humbucker models you mentioned but no lefties. Looks like they are backing off from making lefties.
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.
If it was easy it wouldn't be worth doing.
