Picked up a Cole Clark AN2A3 and an Eastman 315 mandolin. Jerry is a super guy, if you get the chance to visit lefty mecca in person I suggest you do it.

Also included are a couple shots of the lefty bass guitars as I've seen some people ask if he has any.

Extremely rare left-handed JR Zeidler archtop guitar

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.

Anyone remember the Explorer Studio line?

The body is 10% smaller than a regular Explorer, similar to the Pro. Basswood body, mahogany neck, weighs under 8lbs.

Came in a few different colors, including a swamp ash version. It was available with mini humbuckers or with regular. It‘s an awesome guitar.

Anyone know where to find a mustang shape that is good quality but isn’t 2 grand?

Fell in love with the mustang shape and sound ever since I first saw it and I’ve always wanted one so badly, my big boom in wanting one was when I got really into Fontaines DC where their lead guitarist Carlos uses 2 of them, both beautiful guitars and I couldn’t get enough of the vibe, shape or sound.

Then I searched up a left handed one, over 1.5k just for a fender name cause they want to shaft us all the time and never make any left handed models, I see squier mustangs for 500 or less and it’s infuriating cause I don’t see why they can’t make lefty versions of that guitar.

I could really use some help on finding a good left handed mustang that isn’t extortionate, doesn’t even have to be fender as long as it looks, plays and sounds good I could care less.

Looking to switch to lefty after over 20 years of being mediocre. Need some help.

So I’ve been a very mediocre guitar player since I’ve started playing in my teens. I’m now 44. Started righty at the suggestion of my friend’s dad. I totally regret it. My right hand has just never gotten fast or coordinated to be good. So I’m finally decided to almost start from scratch and learn lefty. I’ve already noticed a veeeerrry slim selection to pick from. And am left wondering what my options are. I have a few questions if you’d be so kind

  1. Can I have my right handed guitar restrung and have the nut replaced to be able to play lefty? I know restringing just ain’t enough. Will a shop do this?

  2. Anywhere anyone can recommend with a decent lefty selection in the NY/NJ are?

  3. If any of you did exactly what I am doing, how long did it take for you to get good with fretting with your right hand?

Any additional tips and encouragement are also appreciated

Thank in advance.

Help looking for a unicorn

Looking for an original I believe is 1994 Ibanez RG470L in purple It was the 1st guitar I ever bought to start out on. Had to sell it back when I was around 18/19 as I only had it for about 2 weeks... Had a family issue as to why I had to sell it back, fast forward to many years later I just started learning again and would love to find this again, granted there are probably better guitars out there but I really would like to get my hands on this one. Any help locating one would be great or even where to start looking. Been searching for about 6 months now. And have only for 1 but it was right handed.
