Question How does EBMM decide which guitars to offer left-handed?

[Siro Rayge]

Hello fellow Ballers, ballists, (please supply the appropriate collective noun).
I have noticed that there are a significant number of left handed guitarists on this forum, most of which have a craving (insatiable) for a particular model. I fully understand that it would be impossible to offer all models in both dexterities and realise that market forces would prohibit new (untested) models, i.e. Armada, Reflex, Game Changer, to be available left-handed.

However what about well established models, that have even celebrated their twentieth year of production, e.g. Albert Lee, Steve Morse. Silhouette. How many guitars would you have to manufacture to make left-handed production worthwhile. For example; if one hundred Steve Morse Y2D models were made left-handed? Are there 100 lefties wishing to buy this model (especially as this forum proves that one EBMM is seldom enough)?

As a new user I'm unsure how to conduct a poll, but I would be interested to find out which would be the most requested model that is not currently available left-handed?

Please except my sincere apologies if this has already been carried out and I haven't been able to find the information.

Best wishes, Siro.

Not sure, but Petrucci's were finally made 'upside down' after some pleading by lefty Forumite contingent.

Where is Dizzy when you need him?!?!

Knuckleheads.

Welcome to the forum, Siro!

Thanks DrKey for the correction. Didn't Steve Lukather have a signature amp called a 'Knucklehead' by Rivera. Paranoid70, who is the mythical Dizzy?

He is a legend around these parts. He hails from a mystical land of kangaroos and wallabees. The man plays guitar like a monster and has been known to 'get physical' on occasion. You'd love him, a real man's man.

He did. As I recall, that business relationship didn't end well. I think had some sort of subwoofer system for extra bottom end that they developed together. I'm not sure if the current knucklehead amps are the same at all.
