Left handed Universes/RG7's - Did Ibanez ever make any?

[Contra]

I am just wondering because I'd like a UV777/ RG7 left handed neck for a reverse headstock right handed custom RG7/UV.

I know they never made a lefty universe, but I think there is a lefty RG7420 or something like that out there somewhere (I swear I've seen one)... So you may be out of luck...

I think that's how he's playing already. He want's to have a reverse headstock on a right handed guitar.

Exactly correct PekkaM, I am right handed, and play right handed. I want a reverse headstock on a custom RG7 and what better way to do it, than by using a lefty neck. but since there doesnt seem to be any... my dreams are crushed.

oh f***. sometimes im sooo blonde. LOL Nevermind my remark.

Yes, there was a lefty RG-7420 in Japan, I'm not sure if they still make it. *I'm sure you could get a custom neck made by one of the numerous shops out there that do Ibanez copies.

a neck conversion is going to be a pain in your ass, what with the whole non symetry of the aanj. its doable, but sure not fun!
but im thinking about doing it too to a prestige lefty. id have done it already but im waiting to get my hands on a prestige, not just a lefty. i have my superwizard mij, i dont want to go korean on a nice custom guitar

Id recommend talking to a custom builder, such as Christopher Woods, Richard Fay, etc. They do in fact make lefty RG7's, Ive seen plenty of em on e-bay (was that a bad word to say here?) but like xeroparadox mentioned, the neck joint is gonna be an issue.

Isn't Legacy One making 7-string necks now? Last I checked, it's not on his page (see the banners on top), but I could have sworn I saw him say that he can make them now.

Tell you what, you find a good lefty 7 string, sell it to me and use the money to buy a custom neck?

Far better use of an actual lefty neck.

I have saw a 7 string with reversed headstock swirled by Rich.
It's awesome!
Did search on his site and didn't found it.
I'll search thru my files and will post it.

[Tubarão Guitars]

done.

[JTM45]

Yeah,Rich sold that on E bay a while back.
Lovely guitar!
He made the neck from scratch himself using a Jem fretboard widened with binding.
Nice job.
