Are you sure Peter? They do have different SKU's which should mean they are distinct items in RIC's inventory.

Same parts, only the saddles are assembled 4-3-2-1 instead of 1-2-3-4. To rub salt into the wound it is the same picture shown for both but flipped over for the lefty!

I tend to agree, it would seem to me only the setup is different....

And we make thousands of one assembly and tens of the other. Imagine how the amortization of keeping these lefty items in the system and warehoused might be- guess we need to raise the lefty price, don't we? Thanks for pointing that out.
