Solid body electric build actually so seems fairly straight forward. Just put in an order for left handed fretwire, chisels, and strings. Anyone know where I can buy lefty lacquer??

On a serious note, anyone tried wiring audio taper pots in reverse?

I've got a request to build someone a lefty guitar, its a first for me. Is it as simple as flipping all the templates over? This way everything is mirror image. I feel like I might be overlooking something here... thanks.

Thanks! The pickups are bare knuckle's, they offer most of their models in 7 and 8 string. Had to make the pick guard and mounting ring for the humbucker though, couldn't find anything to fit.

Ok, makes sense. Will definitely try that.
