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. :wink:

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.

PS: Jeff, please PM me your number. I owe you a call......ok????
