travismoore Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 lol ya but when you look at or play a right handed guitar or bass dosnt it just mess with your head? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted November 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 theres two filled in side markers on the wrong side of the fingerboard of this one; the rosewood dust worked perfect to hide them; but from that moment on, everything was labeled 'left handed/top/bottom' in masking tape on everything!

low end fuzz Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 almost finished... did the wiring and thru the strings on cause i couldnt wait; its not set up yet; its missing an input cover, back plate, truss rod cover and strap buttons; i'll do those after my birthday hangover is gone! please feel free to visit my entirety of albums, more updates on the others to come; and the rest are for normal right handed payers! j/k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southpa Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Nice looking bass. My handle on this forum might imply that I play left-handed but that is not the case. But I do most everything else left (or right) handed, even shooting darts. If I were to attempt a left-handed build I'm sure it would mess up my mind half the time. I guess I would just take all my templates and flip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 the hard part is all the stuff that you dont have a template for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielM Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 such as? I do practically everything with templates, only things I think of you don't need a template for makes no difference for lefty or righty (i.e. neck profile or fretting.)

WezV Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Doing a lefty is one of them things that seems like it should be no more difficult untill you try it. I found on my first had i had to stare at everything twice as long and talk through where things should be on a normal guitar before cutting. My brain just seemed to really struggle in reverse. The stupidest thing i did was cut a right handed nut, i nearly got the markers on the wrong side as well but caught myself just before drilling. I also broght a schaller roller bridge for it which unfortunately has different sized string grooves and couldnt easily be converted to lefthanded - something to be aware of which i hadnt considered!

travismoore Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Looknig good =) What are the pickup cover and knobs made of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
low end fuzz Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 well the hard parts; no template for remembering to put the side dots on the right side; having the electronics 'upside down'; and the most recent one was putting the strings on in reverse, which i hate because unwinding a string and restringing it is waiting for bad news! the covers are b&w ebony and the knobs are tigerwood(?) there cheap at LMI; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
