Question about a lefty guitar


Okay, so GAS never ends and I spy a guitar that I like. It's in minty fresh condition and a good price, only problem, it's a lefty and I'm a righty. Now, I know that left handed guitarists have been playing right handed guitars for years and just switch the strings around, but my question is, is that all there is to it just string and knob locations or is there anything I should worry about in making a lefty a righty? Thanks to all who reply.

Re: Question about a lefty guitar


Well, you have to flip the nut (or get a lefty one), and you have to rearrange the saddles. That should be all, though.

BTW, you have to give us pics when it's finished!

Re: Question about a lefty guitar


I had a lefty strat that I had set up for righty and it just didnt work for me. The knob location just made it a bitch and half to play, and I wasnt going to spend the money to reroute the body.
