John, a(nother) question about lefty 4001CSs.
While going thru the archives I found a thread I started, asking if anyone knew how many left-handed 4001CSs were made. Your reply:

"I had the first one made(March 1992), now in the hands of another happy home..it was #383/1000."

Now, my question is; Since this post in 2002, do you still believe #383 was the first lefty CS built?
Thanks.

Ronn: No, actually...I have found out more since then. There were possibly 2 or three before mine, I think there was one in the low 100's IIRC. I ordered mine from Jim Rhoads in the fall of '91. It was fairly early in the run, but some fell before mine did.

Thanks man.

Y'know Ronn, I may have typed the certificate number wrong as well, LOL...I'm thinking mine was 292, but 383 may be right as well. It's been a while since I've had it..

Mine's #271. Nov.1st,1991.

Well, yours was definitely earlier than mine, for I picked mine up in late March '92 IIRC...If yours is 271, then 383 is probably right for mine.

#808 is also a lefty... now on eBay.
