I have a grudge against companys charging more for left handed guitars!
I recently got myself a Reverend Double agent and I am loving it so much my wife got jelous of it and asked if I could leave it alone for one night, it was hard but I didnt even take it out of the case. getting back to the story I got it for the same price as the right handed guitar and that was a nice suprise for me I dont care that guitar companys only make 1 left handed for every 300 guitars they build it should still be the same price! there must be another 1 of those 300 people here that share my grudge, especialy to Gibson who charge way over the odds for leftys.

Go to www.carvin.com. I just ordered a righty but they do not charge extra for lefties.

I learned how to play right, because I knew if i played left, I wouldnt be able to play with friends and pass a guitar back and forth.
a tough process, truly.

I'm left-handed but never could get the hang of left-handed guitars. I need more dexterity in my fretting hand anyway.

Ya know what really sucks? Left-handed scissors. You can't cut hot butter with those stupid things. I think they make left-handed scissors just to frustrate us.

Left handed zips are complicated too :rolleyes:
No-one remembers what you do or say. Everyone remembers how you made them feel. Allegedly !!!!

I play left my friend plays right we sit oposite each other and can easy see where each other is on the fret board its like a mirror image thing and is kinda cool and very helpfull to pick stuff up quickly.
I like the look of the Carvin left handers but they are a small market here in the UK, I didnt see one lefty for sale.

Carvins are mail order or Carvin store bought and they're all in California....so I can see why the market is small for them there (UK). Word of mouth sells a lot of these babies.... but believe me they are super sweet. I had a Carvin V-220 bought in '86 (stolen) that played and sounded just superb. :)

Maybe in another life I will be right handed and live in the USA then I can have all the guitars I lust for like that big Carvin 6 string bass oooh nice!
but I would still need to order all my amps from the uk.

Music Man has a bunch of lefty models, Strings and Things is the UK distributor.

Sounds like you found something you already like though, doesn't Kid Rock play those Reverend guitars, very cool.

Checked out the music man stuff its nice I never say never I do like all the reverends I did see Kid rock on the Reverend Web page and a bunch of other really respected known people, the double agent I own is nice! p90 on the neck and humbucker in the bridge I got the yellow one just because I like the look of the black pick gaurd on the yellow, string locks are cool too, too much bang for the buck I feel like im stealing it from them..
