I've never seen one of these left-handed before! Has anyone else?
Chicago Music Exchange has just obtained one. It is a 1966 Mapleglo. If you don't care for the color, I don't think you have much of a choice.
Just a heads-up to all forum members before he sticks it on ebay, offers it to a rich record executive, or sells it abroad.

There was one for sale in Japan last year, it may be the same one. Apparently it hasn't made the website yet....

I had a customer call in this week and ask about lefthanded "R" tailpieces, which, in case anyone doesn't know, don't exist.
But this fellow was adamant that he'd seen one on a lefty! So, naturally, I said to him, "Well I'd sure like to see that!"
He then emailed me a photo from the web of the body of a "lefty" RIC, upside-down-backwards "R" and all.
Thing is, there was a sign in the background of the photo which had backwards letters...
