Hello,I'am Mark and I live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada. I've been building lefty hardbody electric guitars for over 6 years.When I saw these unique little guitars I thought I would give it a try. I have 3 on the go with 2 built ,one 4 string the other a 6 string.I would love my son to play the 6 string at one of his shows. He plays Metal.Thanks.
