In 1982 I was a playing musician in Philadelphia, PA. Unfortunately all my guitars were stolen, and I needed a new instrument. Thing is, I'm left-handed so in order to get anything decent I would have to have it made. Several people recommended that I see John Zeidler, and he made this instrument for me. After his untimely death, I contacted his wife to see if she knew anything about my guitar. She told me she didn't know much but she believed that he only made two left-handed archtop guitars out of the approximately the 160 instruments that he produced, so this really is a unicorn.
