If the past points to the future, there will eventually be lefty versions. But, if tradition holds, I wouldn't expect it to be available day and date with the righty.[/peanut gallery]

leftys depend on the demand. If you are lucky a famous artist that get a lot of exposure that wants a lefty helps alot.

Makes sense.
Just out of curiosity, what are the difficulties in creating a lefty?
Since the bodies and necks are, I believe, CNC milled, then that would mean a fresh "backwards"* program, right?
Then there's fabricating a "backwards" electronics package, and a "backwards" neck plate (assuming, that is, that it's going to be a 5 bolt plate).
What else?
*If you're a lefty, substitute "correct" for "backwards" in the above post.

I think they also have to make left handed strings and strap buttons.

Hehehe, more like bfr brilliance from what I've seen. In any case, that is just so much more enticing!

Right, of course! I forgot that you have to put the windings on so they spiral the other way and reverse the threads on the screws....
Do leftys have to print mirror images of their sheet music?

Surface thinking...A.D> remember there are minimum quantities of all parts that are different. There are much higher prices for those minimum prices......
you forgot about the left handed birdseye

Oh, I understand that. I don't know what the minimums would be, of course. I was just curious about what is different about a lefty, that's all (aside from questionable genetics*).
*Like you, I'm a lefty who plays righty.
If you pay enough you can even get one-offs done, right?
Oh, that's not so hard. Get it from Australia. The world turns in the opposite direction down there so the trees grow the other way 'round.
One thing I just realized that nobody's mentioned is the special custom-order backwards pots.

The only thing funnier than left handed jokes are bent knob jokes.
And the only funnier thing would be keeping this thread on-topic!
I hate having to edit things.

That would fall under the category of "self-deprecating humor."

That makes sense. I can't expect more than that. I already greatly appreciate the lefty options you guys make currently. Its a rare thing in this business!

What about Chuck?
Well, Chuck *is* famous, but I don't think his "art" is what's being referred to here....

Right, exposing yourself like Chuck does is not the same as getting a lot of exposure
I am left handed. I couldn't tell what you were inferring.
Being left handed where I grew up was kind of like being touched in the head. Not tolerated.
You qualifly for that too?

Hmmm...maybe he DOES qualify. I mean, that infamous photo wound up on the countertop at a music store not only on the other side of the continent, but in another country, no less!
Not to mention the global, nay, GALACTIC distribution due to the Internet!
