So I was drinking with a buddy one night and stuck an oak 1x2 into the box I was going to put it on... I put it in backwards, and I can't very well have the logo upside down on the front so now it's a left handed 22 fret 25 1/2 scale 4 string. Well almost. I have to add the strings and shape the headstock and add tuners and a bridge, nut, saddle, and tailpiece.    I don't know any leftys who play strings, so I figured I could put it to good use. Any interest?

I should be able to finish it in just a couple of days. Our weather is no bueno for cutting trees so I am at the house this week for the most part.

Yep, I have done exactly the same thing myself! :-)

Thanks for offering it up to donate. We will see if we have any takers.

Or, you can go ahead and finish it "normally" and someone can play it "Hendrix"-style....

Or standing on their head.

Still no lefty requests. But sometimes, when one service member receives theirs, their battle buddies see them and get excited about them. Then they come on CBN and register.

No rush. It's a lot of fun and I'm getting to play with 4 string tunings. It'll be here when someone happens to want it.
