Larry it fits right in there with the rest..nice guitar. Is that a real Hendrix Model or did you do a horizontal flip with the photo ?

Jeff, it's real! The customer knows it's non-returnable!

I've never built a left handed model It would be a challenge I guess but, never had a request for one. Thank God

Jeff

There is really not a lot to it, I have the reverse problem as I play Left Handed, most of my customers are right handed, so I have to keep reminding myself to build the opposite way round, to how I would have it, I carefully did some inlay which was suppose to be a certain way up when played, only to discover I did it upside down to suit a lefty. Doh

Russell, it's settled then! I'll send the darned thing to YOU and YOU can set it up! Seriously, I'm just gonna have to do all cold and sterile, by the numbers I suppose...I usually like to live with a guitar for a week or so, playing and tweaking...very tactile approach...but not this time!

I agree, thats the problem, I have taught myself to play right handed guitars upside down a little, but I have a very fine player who lives near by so I get him to road test the righties for me.

There ya go! I think I'll have the customer come over and play bit by bit til we get it just right...

Righties or Lefties..there are a lot of excellent looking guitars on this thread.

Here's my bench as of fifteen minutes ago, just so everyone else can feel a little better about what's on their bench. :)



A cocobolo parlor in progress, and lots of stuff I need to put away.

Paste, your bench looks just fine but I hope your wife didn't have any laundry to hang out!

Hmm, I was wondering why she had tossed all my clothes out the window...
