Left Handed Headstocks

Post by wmthor »

I noticed that the headstock on a left handed 360WB listed for sale at Pick of the Ricks is different from the ones that I own or that I've seen.

Here's a link to the one listed for sale:

That was before we had tooling to do full mirror image models. I made that a priority to add full left hand capability (other than the -R-) sometime just before 1990, as I recall.

I, for one, strongly remember you saying (musta been a press release or something) that it's about time the "leftie's" had a "real" left-hand instrument (not just a modified "righty").
