my brand new left-handed AL

[rowla]

Hi guys

I've been lurking for a while and here's my cheeky first post .... I've always been a huge Saraceno fan and fell in love with his humbucker AL. First problem it wasn't a production guitar and second problem there are no lefties in the AL.

So after putting together a partsocaster and with the help of a couple of guys here in Australia I built my own. Curves aren't as sexy as the real deal but that's due to the drop top.

Alder body, Queensland maple top, SeymourDuncan Blues Trembucker and Parallel Axis neck trembucker.

Not bad for a first build and the best playing guitar I've had so far.

So a big thanks to AL and MM for designing not only the world's best guitar shape but one that looks equally cool as a lefty.

Welcome around !

...although a b!tch to source, pleople from time to time actually DO find some of that "lefthanded-wood"

Killer top!

Welcome aboard fellow lefty! Nice work. They may make the AL lefty one day, you never know. When I first got here, there was no lefty Petrucci guitar. Keep hope alive!

 

[threeminutesboy]

wow looks weird like every lefty guitar but you are actually the official 2nd person to own one

the first one being Sir Paul Mac Cartney

So congrats on this one and welcome

LOVE the pickguardless look! Well done!

Cool. I wish the MM ALs had a 3-way toggle instead of the 5-way slide.

Good job and welcome.

 

[browndog]

Welcome aboard. Cool looking guitar.

A home made AL! Nice work there.

Welcome! That's one beautiful custom you've got there. That top looks like Lacewood, just gorgeous!

Very cool homemade lefty AL
Although I don't believe I can issue you an official handbook and decoder ring

Only left rooted woods can produce left handed guitars.
