locking nut for left hand player - trouble....

[Ced777]

Hello,

I'm french and I am a left hand player.
I am searching for a Toplock III locking nut. Is it possible to find one?
I saw a Schaller locking nut on warmoth.com with these specs:
1-11/16" , radius 10 inch (is it a problem with a 10 inch radius? - I think my guitar, a S470L, has 17 inch radius)

An ibanez top lock III would be perfect but I can't find one. Schaller would be a solution but I saw only 10 inch radius nut.
Schaller offers wide or narrow nut. Which one is the good one?

My old locking nut give me trouble with the G string. (****ty metal....). I think you, guys (left handed), have find some solution. Why I can't find a part from Ibanez?

Thank you,

Cedric

Ad on to my previous post:

I finally find a reference on the ibanez site
a top lock III , left-hand, cosmo black = 2 LN1 BL 43 K
But new question: where can I order one ?

Is there really a difference between a right and lefthand nut? *Most locking nuts have the same size string spacing regardless of what string they are intended for. *I think your main challange will be finding one in that radius... good luck

Strings are inversed : the width of each "notch" is bad.
In fact the E-low string doesn't insert in the E-high string notch. (the inverse is false, but the E-high string is not maintained in the E-low notch).
I don't know if I am clear, but watch your locking nut and you will understand.

Ps sorry for the approximate english. I do my best.

I should think there is not much difference, but in any case, rich harris' site www.ibanezrules.com carries a spare parts list, mailing him and asking him would be a good idea, as he should know.

The only lefty parts I have are 2 sets of tuners I got by mistake
