I put this question Miles already and he is fresh out of lefty parts. Does anyone know if there were ever any lefties made? If so, anyone have any necks or bodies they want to dispose of?

And finally - if I have to go the old fashioned way and reverse engineer it, aside from reversing the nut and the bridge, is there any other gotchas that anyone can think of?

Good Question, I don't remember any. Might have been a special or two but I don't recall them .

should read "ARE there any..."

Knob placement is the other factor.

Careful there, Woody. There might be a Moderator about.

I've already told the guy who it's for (my brother) to deal with the knobs.

I may just make a body based on whichever model he wants (viper/preacher) and just build it backwards (and upside-down :confused: )
