Re: I am writing in to Ibanez to request for lefty models; who's supporting me?


Yeah, i've got my fair share of custom guitars lined up already.

I don't even care about this brand of guitars anymore. Jem20th, RG20th, S7, RG8, all not available left handed. I'd expect it for the jem, s7, and rg8, but I was atleast expecting the rg20th to be available left handed. Out of 1,987 rg20th guitars, none are available left handed.

Custom is definitely the way to go these days for a lefty.

If I knew what I wanted I go custom...

By that I mean if I could play several lefty 7's and compare them so that I knew what the necks felt like and they could be copied/modded I'd be totally there....

but the amount of money is not something that I'm really prepared to spend to get a perfectly good guitar that I don't like the feel of!

When I ordered my UV77MC lefty I simply took the plunge. I hadn't played a 7 string before so I had nothing to compare. All I can say is that the neck Jeremy made for me (based on the older UV's) is fantastic .

Obviously I'll have to visit loads of people with left customs and then work out what I want!

My next 7, being custom, will probably have a kahler bridge on it. I'm really looking forward to trying one of those out.

Re: I am writing in to Ibanez to request for lefty models; who's supporting me?


I have a 7 with the older UV necks. Took the plunge on that one having never played a 7 before.
I have a 7420L. Took the plunge on that as well. Though it didn't really cost me much.
And I also have the 1077xl. 27" and the prestige neck. I had absolutely no idea how i'd relate to it, but I still went for it.

Being a lefty, we don't have many options with 7's. Can't really go into a store and try them out. Your best bet is to noodle around on the right handed equivalent, if there is one, or just say screw it, and go for it. As long as the neck isn't a monstrosity, then you can at least adapt to it over time.

Ship insured, and even if something does go wrong, it'll be taken care of.

I've only ever had one guitar damaged through shipping, and that was a right handed acoustic I bought for a friend

If you've gone for years playing left handed there is no way out unless you want to relearn the guitar, but if you're left handed and just starting out playing, learn right handed from the start. I started playing right handed after 1 year of unserious playing/dabbling. I've been playing 8 years now.

^Sadly, that advice doesn't help anyone who has been playing guitar left handed for years.

The "Left Handed Issue" is avoided by Ibanez like it's the plague. atleast EBMM and Carvin discuss the issue with me.

EBMM do that? I asked them a few years about a Axis (lefty) and they flat out said NO!

Yeah, that's why I said there's no way out for you. :P

I guess I was thinking "diversity, more shapes and colours" when I first started learning properly and decided to go right handed because more models were available to me, hehe.
