Any Left-Handed 24"?

southpaw84 · Post by **southpaw84** » Mon Jan 25, 2010 11:30 pm

Is anybody making 24" scale in left hand? I was excited to learn about those Ibanez Omar Rodriguez, but the only LH I saw were in the UK - nothing it seems for the colonials.

Hope you guys can point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

If I can ever get my guitar building up and going, I will definitely make some lefties for you, south paws.

Not the same.

I have a Japanese Fender Jag. Not the same.

Basically, they are there if you find the ebay store that imports Japanese Fenders for retarded prices.

Otherwise, you're SOL. Like me.

Fuck I just want a Bronco.

you're best bet is probably to find a lefty-stang/duo/mm and re-do the guard, electronics, and bridge. good luck with that. . . assembling what you need for a right-handed bronco isn't exactly cheap in and of itself.

The above mentioned are as hard to find left handed.

I found a guy that will make pretty much the body I want, and I'm stoked. Decent price as well.

However, in another thread in this subforum I was trying to locate a lefty 24" neck and realized I'm fucked. They don't exist. Warmoth is the closest but they WILL NOT do a vintage 7.25" radius.

If you can rock a 9.5" radius and a reverse headstock you could put a jagstang/duo neck on a 25.5" lefty body. It'd require a bit of nut modification to work right.

You mean bridge modification? I.e. moving it and redrilling the body? Otherwise a 24" neck won't intonate on a 25.5" body.

Jagstangs and CV Duos use 24" conversion necks, which means they'll work with a 25.5"-placed bridge. That's my understanding. Could be wrong.

Pens · Post by **Pens** » Wed Jan 27, 2010 2:09 am

CV Duos do, Jagstangs do not.

Grant · Post by **Grant** » Wed Jan 27, 2010 2:38 am

Well there you go. Southpaw, if you can rock the 9.5in radius and reverse headstock and maple fretboard, get a CV Duo neck and a 25.5" lefty body and you're all set. Heck if you can find me a 22.7 inch conversion neck you can have my 24.
