Members Edward Posted May 1, 2007 Members Share Posted May 1, 2007 Vander.... gorgeous guitar.... I'd have me at least one of those already, if only they'd do the damn things lefty..... you'd think there'd be a market for them, I can't be the only lefty wanting one. And it's not as if the market is flooded with Gretsch copies, especially for a lefty. None of the other copyists (e.g. Ibanez) seem to do theirs lefty either! I just checked a random, usually cheap, website (Thomann), and I'd say the Gretsch are actually cheaper than Gibsons: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carguy Posted May 1, 2007 Members Share Posted May 1, 2007 Man I'd love to have one of these:I'd rather have this than the $30,000 "reliced" one on e-bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members White Falcon Posted May 1, 2007 Members Share Posted May 1, 2007 For that kind of $ you should be able to buy one he's owned and played, as in a highly visable one he's recorded and been photographed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're rare, but they do exist. They don't seem to have too big of an upcharge against the right hander either..... just seems they don't do lefties in the Electromatic range. Maybe one day I'll buy a used 6120, but they're so expensive, I don't know that I'd want to buy a guitar that I swould be afraid of taking anywhere, you know? eh, well. It's entirely possibly they have them in Japan and just don't export them - I know that a lot of the LE models fender have brought out of Japan officially in the last decade have been "no lefties" officially here in Europe (well, try all of them!), but when you find someone who exports privately from Japan, they're all there..... Guess if i ever make it to Tokyo and have a compliant airline..... I do love those big beasts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jim_Soloway Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 Okay, 30,000. for the guitar and they are going to charge 393. for shipping?Aside from how ridiculous that shipping amount is, you'd think for 30,000. they could at least throw in the shipping. The shipping is actually about right given the cost of insurance (aprox. $1 per $100 of value). So the insurance would be about $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jlw001 Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 That's kinda ridiculous of Gretsch, but hey, Fender is calling the shots now. I mean Fender is the company that builds nice beautiful guitars and the "relics" them and charge more money for them. Nothing against you guys who like the relics, its just more of the same gimmick in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Blackbelt1 Posted May 2, 2007 Members Share Posted May 2, 2007 sucks about the left thing. not sure if i've ever seen a lefty gretsch. maybe i have but i know i've never seen a lefty electromatic.They're out there. Leftyjay here is a Gretsch player - he has a White Falcon, White Penguin, 6120, and a couple of other Gretsch guitars in his arsenal.I have 3 Gretsch's now (all righty though). Here's a couple of them in action:Gig with my 5127Halloween gig with my 6120 DSW (my favorite)~Blackbelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
