Is this right?

Post by bassduke49 »

Here's a 1985 early 4003 lefty with a reverse headstock. Is this right? I thought the lefty headstocks were made "normal" by this time. I thought the current C series were done with the reverse headstock to simulate the 1964 version given to McCartney. Hmm.

All lefties have Righty headstocks as far as I know ... this is a manufacturing thing ... it is cheaper to make all headstocks the same way ...

Not all leftys have a right-handed headstock. See the JH's comment at:
