leftybassman392 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Someone seems to have too much time on their hands. Or maybe it's art: a meditation upon the angst left handed players have to go through when buying a new instrument perhaps...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only option would be to put another neck in there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this one would be more straighter, so even betterer. I suppose if you got the scale lengths right you'd basically have something along the lines of a Chapman stick.

It was an article on a bloke from Dewsbury (I think) that called himself the upside down man. Apparently he "discovered" that if he played a left handed guitar using his right handed technique he stumbled across some mystical scales. The above design was his attempt at a completely upside down guitar. Apparently he released a few albums. I didn't buy the album, and I won't be buying the guitar either.
