Peter Levett's is believed to be either the only, or one of only two 4005s made in leftie. Sorry to shatter dreams.

Peter has one, the
other could become Greg's, if he looks hard enough and has enough to pay for it, I suppose.

Jeff,
If I had a "Yen" to find the other 4005 Lefty........I'd have to travel to Japan!!!!
Rickenbacker made TWO of these. Peter has one, and the other resides within a museum there.
I do however, have a SWEET 4001v63LH MG that I got from Peter.
