Members Derelict King Posted December 14, 2005 Members Share Posted December 14, 2005 Originally posted by brikus DK, I hate you... BTW how does that Burns sound/play ? I've been lusting for one for a loooooong time... The Burns is an odd guitar. TONS of pup options. Many sound fantastic but some can be real muddy and useless...unless you use a treble booster like, you guessed it, Brian May. The guitar is lighter than you would expect and has a nice chunky neck. Heavy gauge guys might not like the fact that it is designed specifically for 9s...or so says Burns. Definately nice to have in the old arsenal, though. I dig it! Originally posted by telephant Derelict King, where did you find the G&L Invader??? I thought they didnt offer them in lefty? I found it on Ebay and yes, they haven't made lefty Invader XLs in years.I said earlier in this thread that I grabbed it for $650. That was a typo. I snatched it up for a mere $550. Best GAS steal of my life. If you can find one I highly recommend you jump on it. It's easily my favorite guitar of the bunch. Hard as Hell to find, though. Aside from my Rampage it was the hardest guitar for me to locate. Trust me, it was pure dumb luck on my part. DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members leftystratman Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 Originally posted by Detox I have one hell of a time finding good left-handed guitars. As if that isn't bad enough, when the time comes to sell one, it's even tougher. I've had one on consignment at a local music store since last October, and still not one bite. same here. I can't get rid of my lefty epi les paul standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members leftystratman Posted December 15, 2005 Members Share Posted December 15, 2005 Originally posted by highgainlover I think we need to sue the guitar companies for discrimination. Lefties account for 11% of the population yet the % of righties to lefty guitar is less than 1%. :mad: how do we start? the sooner the beter. it's about time someone speaks the truth.which company should be start with?

I'd say Gibson. They hardly have a few models of their range available lefty. Fender is less bad, but they do offer a smaller choice of colours for lefties.

Members Keelbolts Posted December 19, 2005 Members Share Posted December 19, 2005 leftystratman, If you use the same name on ebay, I just bought the Samick "Switchmaster." If it's you, what can you tell me about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kirkster57 Posted December 20, 2005 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 I got this one last week. It play like a dream and looks fantastic. Build quality is top notch. Looks much better in person. Best Les Paul I have ever owned. I have had a few and this one beats them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members brikus Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 Originally posted by andrew7896 three letters P...R...S Well they must have got money from the lawsuit they won against Gibson...so they could use it wisely...in a lawsuit they'd lose against lefties ! So PRS wouldn't be a bad idea, as they recently stopped making lefties. But I still think Gibson would be a better choice : bigger brand, hence a bigger impact if the lawsuit is won, not to mention they sued PRS for imitating the LP shape...suing them for discrimination against lefties would be throwing their wicked game right back at them...

I'm not sure about it at all.Or why not go after Reverend (I asked and they said they won't do any lefty, cuz they'd have to buy lefty tuners.... ), a little guy just to warm up a bit first ?

Members telephant Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 This {censored}ing blows. I want a super strat and noone offers one in lefty. I mean, a strat with a hb in the bridge, lefty floyd rose, and one piece maple neck should not be this damn hard to come by.I hate life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate life. www.warmoth.com...or maybe you can get that kind of stuff from Carvin. They have a few hidden options. So say you order a bolt or bolt+ model and you ask them for one with just one pickup. I'd suggest you contact them and ask if that kind of thing is possible. You might end up with a good surprise.

Members Straightface Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 Another lefty, been playing less than a year but have been really down on the availability of lefty guitars. Anybody have experience with G&L? I really like the ASAT but not sure about availability. They weren't on the list of friendly or unfriendly companies. I know they make some lefty but are they hard to get or only certain ones made lefty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Keelbolts Posted December 20, 2005 Members Share Posted December 20, 2005 You got that! I saw it, but had to choose between my wife and the guitar. I ended up buying that Samick Switchmaster that was on ebay at the same time. Less expensive. I'm hoping to keep both. Film at eleven... I have a lovely, though ragged, old Guild jazzer, but it's backwards. I wanted something similar that's a lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is that? Is there something about a left handed version that makes it hard to do or is it because they just don't have to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
