I recently got my lefty 4003S:

I wish they would make a left handed version of this model. I'm pretty bummed.
Ben Hall said on Facebook they would offer this is lefty, but I've got a feeling it probably won't be until they have all the righty pre-orders and inventory channels filled. And then probably after the 4003SW orders ...

What are flat paint colors?

Thank you all for the great suggestions ... especially the masking tape!

I predicted that to be the first answer! Seriously, did it work well? Was it a good color match?

I have a 4001V63 and some of the paint (white) on the back of the truss-rod cover has come off; especially where the truss-rod adjusting nuts are. Anyone have this problem? Any sound recommendations?

Thanks!

Can you install this on a 4003? The reason I ask is because when I compare pictures, the scores do not appear to line up. I would hate to drill new screw holes.
