Lefty Guy

Recommended Posts

Dont discount the J-200 Lefty, its as magical as the Bird' in its own way and also very complementary to the SJ.

 

Strangely I've never hankered after a J-200. I love a bit of bling on a guitar but this one is just a bit OTT for me.

Really, I never considered the J-200 to be too bling focused, you might want to check out the J-200 Studio, which is much stripped back in terms of bling. But then if J-200 doesnt rock you boat then best to move on and focus on the other ones. makes the decision process easier.

Curious... I've always thought the 'bird was a bit more of a bling-thing than the (S)J-200. Certainly in pickguard terms, while not quite hitting DIF heights, it's certainly a bit busier in bling terms than a J200 guard if you ask me.

hey Lefty :).

 

I got mine from guitar village.

 

Just been on their site and they seem to have loads of left handers? I looked a couple of weeks ago(when you first mentioned it) and there were none.

 

Seems like you'll have a lot to chose from, there's a blues king too.

 

The thing that i noticed about all the left handed ones. They say underneath them 5 star exclusive, so have you asked them for the guitar you want maybe they can just get ginson to make you your own? But with the choice on offer, hopefully you'll find something that grabs you :).

 

 

Edit = I do like the colour/brust of this lefty Bird though, wow, http://www.guitarvillage.co.uk/productdetail.aspx?pid=12837&c=150&product=Gibson+Special+Order+Hummingbird+Left+Handed%2c+New%2c+Honeyburst%2c+Inc.+Case+%26+COA

 

Not sur how to up load the image but she's nice.

Do you live near Farnham?
