or go directly to a Fender dealer (shop) someone that sells Fender and they can contact them and have one for you!

I think that means they can't get one from Fender. There are a few righties left in red.

Lefties are pretty hard to find .. Especially any offset .. Shops won't order them for stock because they are harder to sell .

And second on the " stop that shit with the classifieds " . Especially this guy . Prolly trying to find one for his kid for Christmas of something . Let's help this one .. Scold the rest .. :twisted:

No lefty KC Mustangs right now on this site, but check back. This site is a great resource.

There's actually a bunch on eBay (USA).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-Fender-Kurt ... 1e951145e8

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fender-Kurt-Cob ... 3ceb9166fe

All of these are below $900 (before shipping and duties). There are others for a bit more... Good luck!

Yes they are rare. Suck on that. It took me 12 years to find one.

They don't seem to send outside of Sweden, but maybe you can write them.

Thanks everyone.

I went to classifieds first, but there was some rule about posting 50 times first.

No USA dealers will ship to the UK, even USA Ebay shops.

Fender UK have refused my request to get 1 piece sent over to me (customer of 20 + years)

None on Ebay UK

Hence, request of your help.

My son is only 9, every time I come home from work, he is watching Nirvana Live N Loud from I think about December '93 and playing along with his left handed acoustic. I wanted to get him the same guitar as Kurts for Christmas...

This place en france has one. Worth phoning them to see if they'd ship to the UK?

Buy a normal left-handed Mustang and mod it?

It might not be the "official" one but it'll be just as good (and a whole load more available, crucially).

Depends whether your nine-year-old son would mind if it was one over the other I suppose.

After translating some of it, it seems to be 'alert to availability / check availability' so I've emailed them. Many thanks

Yes, thanks. A definite possibility if I can't find the KC one - but I did hear it wasn't as good i.e. pick ups / and made of inferior wood? By the way, are you the same Bacchus from The Doors forum of old?

Contact Guitar Guitar and ask if they can special order you one. It's worth a try.

Thanks for the thought. I have already tried this though. The trouble is, the UK distributor is out of stock, so no retailers can order from them.
