moff40 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 First post here... I've been jonesing for a V lately, but I'm a lefty. Seems Gibson hasn't made a lefty V (neither the '67, or the faded series) in a few years, so they're pretty hard to find. Sometimes they come up for sale on the 'net, but I always seem to miss the good deals by about five minutes. Please Gibson, I know we left-handers don't represent much marketshare, and I know LPs and SGs are available in lefty (though limited in models and colours), but it would be nice if you would make your entire line (Explorers and V's) available, too - even if it's by special order only (I don't mean Custom Shop - I mean the normal Gibson USA factory, built in small batches every 3-6 months). Anybody else feel the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, stores don't have stock that doesn't move, and we lefties get to play our preferred guitars, without settling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clance Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 really? Only 400 dollars? Whenever lefty SGs or Pauls come into local stores around here, theyre about 200-400$ extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMS0623 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 You know what would be sick? get a normal v, (more color/option choices too) and string it lefty like hendrix :)/ Vs have the slanted bridge too, so youll get a slightly different sound, and it looks cool. idk what it is, but any guitar with the knobs and pickguard on the top, just looks awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
