    1st build - ST1 lefty

    The journey begins.

    Hi all,

    I have really been looking forward to this and hoping with a bit of careful and diligent work I can come up with a decent guitar, even if it is the cheapest pack of the lot.

    I hope the options for left-handers increases in the near future so I can branch out and work on some higher quality woods and more adventurous designs.

    Now, just waiting on Bunnings to let me know I can come and pick up some tools.

    Cheers,

    Leif.

    It's worth contacting their customs.

    If you can wait for the kit to be made they may be able to do a left handed version of a righty kit you might have your eyes on.

    Thanks Skajae,

    By 'their' customs you mean Pitbull Guitars?

    Still need to have success on first effort.

    Strings not aligning with pickup poles on mock build.

    Is this ok?

    I answered this in your other post. https://www.buildyourownguitar.com.a...ad.php?t=10909

    It just helps to get consistent replies not to ask the same question in two different places, if you could bear that in mind in the future. Cheers.
