Linky
Looks ridiculously clean. And at a ridiculous price. But don't see many b&b lefties.

I always come across that guys ebay, I just wish I had the cash to pay for all these ridiculously over priced lefties. Or atleast make them lower priced.
And I to wonder WTF's up with the dogs. How do they make you sell more?

did anyone else notice that it has a righty trem-plate? the reverb handle's on the "wrong side". guess that was done to save money on making left handed plates

They could have just flipped it around and called it good.

Yeah vintage lefties don't have a flipped version of the trem, only the Japanese ones do.
