When did Rickenbacker start doing proper lefty necks?

I think around 1980.

My 1981 lefty 360/12 has a righty neck (with smiley TRC).

Around 1987-88 was when the first 'mirror-image' left-handed instruments first appeared. The inlays have been and are still upside-down on the deluxe models. I've heard the left-handed 360/12C63 will actually have lefty full-width inlays, a lefty in every aspect.

I saw that listing in Gbase, its "being worked on" doesn't give me much faith, LOL. We'll just have to wait and see, but I'm skeptical.
