wineredrich Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 That right. Shocked disappointed and downright upset. I had my finger on the trigger.

wineredrich Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 I actually did play a '75 V upside down for a while. I think a lot of lefties followed Jimi's lead because the body shape was the same both ways. Knobs and toggle switch always got in my way though as did the cable coming out of the top half of the V. I've spent the past 5 or 6 years playing mostly acoustics. Martin makes just about every single one of it's models in lefty versions for no upcharge. Guess I thought all makers were like that.

retrosurfer1959 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 If Martin is so helpful just get one of there V's. Yeah they don't make one either do they guess there not so great after all. That's why I learned to play right handed even though I'm a lefty it's just to hard to find left handed guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
