Well ok I'm not dying but dammit if I don't get more options on lefty guitars I'll..do something. lol

Ok, I have to say that I became a diehard fan of MM guitars after FINALLY being able to try a Lefty Super Sport (BTW, the SSs are already made how I want a guitar, string thru body and locking tuners) at Guitar Center here in Las Vegas. My friend told me for years how good MM was but since I'm SCREWED being a lefty and we're so damn descriminated I had no way of finding out how good MMs were. I finally saw one and played it and I thought I was dreaming..so I came back the next day and played it again and walked out with. I love my SS and I want MORE but I don't see ANY and I've always had this thing about special ordering instruments without knowing just how they'll feel or sound first. I have to try a guitar out first before buying just like everyone else.

The thing is had EB made a Lefty or better yet more leftys, I would've bought it long ago not just recently. Now, I want another one and another one but where are my choices? There's ALOT of business that guitar co. lose by not making lefty guitars and I for one know 2 other leftys here in town that would like a MM but since I bought the ONLY one in town (hehehe) they're out of luck.

I just don't get it why descriminate against us and why lose money by not making more leftys?

Anyways, I love my MM and I'm hoping someone listens and wakes up and realize they COULD be making mo' money because I want more MM leftys. Another thing, is it possible to make a Lefty MM with a Floyd Rose type of trem.? I'd like one of those also but I NEED to try them out first and get a feel for it. If you all think I'm just whining think about it, how would you like to have something so bad, knowing it feels so good and knowing you could have it if ONLY they made it for the way you were born? A Lefty. Well, hope EB keeps making quality instruments and hopefully I'll find some more lefty MM somewhere.

Without boring you with a long, drawn-out business dissertation (I'll be short and boring), the lefty issue comes down to cost. Because demand is lower, we build less parts. To build less parts, you pay more money, and have to raise prices to compensate. Then, even if we build them, not all stores will keep them in stock, which means you still don't get to try one. The accordion is looking better and better, eh?

We are working on ways to offer more lefty options at righty prices.

Patience, grasshopper.

Thanks,
Greg
