LEFTY - 1983 Fender Stratocaster Elite, (close-up), (headstock), (back), (frets/fretboard), (hardware), (case). Rare Lefty version of this model. Rather than using long descriptions, click here for a page I've created which outlines features of this innovative model. This guitar is all original and overall pretty nice shape for its age with the worst flaws being tarnished or pitted hardware (bridge, neckplate, fine-tune nut) and wear along the edge of the fretboard, primarily in the lower register. Unlike many of the Elite models I've had, this guitar has been played rather than spending its life in the case. There are normal scratches in the clear coat, not through the finish, and actually only moderate fret wear but with a nice set-up this is a good choice for the player who doesn't want to pay top dollar for a pristine model that's too clean to take to a gig. It's noteworthy that this guitar still has the fine-tune nut, which were frequently never installed, or removed and lost. Lefty Elites are few and far between and if you're looking for a killer player that works perfectly and plays superbly, this one's just $1199. Includes original lefty Fender case but not original trem arm.
ssLefty Epiphone Les Paul LP-100L, (front/back), (headstock). Don't confuse this with the "Special II", easily identifiable with it's flat top - this is a Les Paul 100, and features an arched top of maple over mahogany body, dual volume and tone controls, matching cream pickguard/pickup rings, pearloid Epi headstock logo, and sells new for $150 more. If you want the classic Gibson Les Paul feel and sound, but find the Epiphone Les Paul Standard a little higher than your budget allows, this one's for you. With dual open-coil humbuckers, a rosewood fretboard with a bolt-on mahogany neck and great body wood give this model the powerful, sustaining tone character of the best Les Pauls. They make these in an all-mahogany model for their painted finishes, but for their transparent finishes like this beautiful cherry sunburst, a maple top layer is used for aesthetic purposes. The pickups deliver the classic Paul tone - a powerful cutting bridge pickup and a thick, warm neck pickup. With a list price of $524 these sell at 40% at a nice price of $314 new. This one is in immaculate condition, set up to perfection, and just $239. Add used Gibson gigbag for $20 (pic).
Lefty Davison SG Standard Style, (front/back), (headstock). Based on the look of the '61 SG, with small pickguard, chrome-covered humbuckers, trapezoid fretboard inlays, and control cluster where the pickup selector, 4 volume/tone controls, and output jack are all located on the lower treble bout, this guitar has the look of true classic. To take it even a step further, this guitar is built with a set neck, rather than a bolt on, which many claim enhances sustain through better transfer of the string vibration from the neck to the body. Other features include enclosed die cast tuners, high gloss finish, and tuneomatic bridge with stop bar tail piece. Impeccably finished in vintage white, this guitar appears to have seen little playing time with no hints of use other than minor pickguard scratches. For a set neck guitar, this one's hard to beat for $139(HOLD-Alex K 12/7), especially with a real in-house set up prior to shipping. If you're a Strat/Tele player and want to add a humbucker guitar to your arsenal, this is easy-on-the-wallet and will get the job done nicely.
2007 Epiphone LEFTY Les Paul Special II, (front/back), (headstock). Immaculate condition and a set-up that shows that you don't have to spend $400 to get a nice playing guitar. up that's better than factory. This is the most basic model of the Les Paul line and an excellent choice for entry level to intermediate. Features include Alder body - beautiful cherry sunburst finish with a high gloss finish - Mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard, dual humbucker pickups controlled by master volume - tone - three-way selector, and stopbar/Tuneomatic bridge. List price is $307 but this nice barely used one's just $159.
Danelectro '56 U-2 - "Lefty" , (front/back), (headstock). - in cool retro color "Aqua", which is more of a surf green. Realizing the supply/demand shortage of these guitars in lefty's, we took the bull by the horns and converted (pic here) this one, which was simply installing a lefty aluminum nut, working a few of the saddle string slots, and re-setting the intonation. Just let us know where you'd like the strap pin installed, basically any of the three locations shown here. A few years ago Dano dropped the entire line and came out with the '56 Pro, which was soon dropped, and they're now making the '59 DC and the new Dano Pro which is sort of a Gumby shaped body style. Player's love the '56 U-2, even if only to pull them out for one or two songs per set. But they set up flawlessly, are feather weight, and nothing sounds like these vintage lipstick pickups. The fact that you can get a pro-quality tone in this price range is remarkable. Stacked knobs give you volume and tone on each pickup plus the usual 3-way selector. If you're a lefty and don't mind a guitar that used to be a righty (Hendrix thought it was okay), this one's around $75 cheaper, set up with superb action, and yours for just $225.
LEFTY Fender DG-10LH, Acoustic Dreadnought. New, perfect, never retailed. Features spruce top, mahogany sides and back, in classic dreadnought style. Satin finish lends itself to better transfer of energy and this is a very good sounding acoustic for the money - plus setup better than any neglected guitar in a store. Listed for $284 but this one is untouched, fully setup, and just $165.
LEFTY Fender DG-10CELH, (pic2), Acoustic Electric Cutaway. Again, new and perfect. Specs are the same as the DG-10 except features a cutaway and Fender CE-300 preamp with endpin output jack. List on this one was $399 but, again, this one's fully setup and just $229.
2001 Fender DG-10CE-LH Lefty, acoustic/electric, very clean and nice guitar for the bucks, $225
