Dean Vendetta XM

WantzChas

Hi you guys. To start out with, I hate ALMOST every single guitar Dean makes, except the Vendetta. Love the look for some reason and the headstock. I can get a pretty good deal on one, cough, cough, Gumtree add. The guy says it's a XT, but I couldn't find records on a XT and it isn't the XMT so I assume it is the XM.

I want this guitar for the drop tunings and dual humbuckers to suit rhythm playing. Later on when I have saved up or catch a pot of gold I might put other pickups in and replace the electronics. Might even do a custom paint job, but that is once my other project is finished.

Has anyone had any experience with the Vendetta and what should be the max I spend on it?

Thanks in advance.

Ok, so I came across this http://www.rondomusic.com/product1990.html

Suddenly the Dean isn't that nice for the price anymore. Anyone heard of these?

It's one of Rondo's own brands, but I don't know them. Rondo also do the Agile guitars, whichget a lot of forum love as good inexpensive guitars.
