lefty neck on right handed body


would this be fine? or would the intonation be thrown off considering the locking nut inversion?

Re: lefty neck on right handed body


With AANJ you can't do that at all, on a Jackson you don't need to do it - DX series have reversed headstock and ESP MII have reversed headstock as well.
It'll work on Fender as long as you use a strat neck on a strat (tele neck won't fit on a strat) but you'll need to pull the nut and install it backwards or just cut a new nut.
What guitar do you want to do this to and why?

P.S. Lefthanded locking nuts can be bought.

Then yes, you can put a lefty neck on it but you'll most probably need a new righty locking nut base.

I thought locking nuts were symmetric?

No--look at the size of the string slots.
