Thread: Hi From Vic

  1. #1

    Hi From Vic

    Hi All,
    I'm not sure if anyone else is left handed but we don't get fantastic variety when it come to guitars. I've been wanting to make my own guitar for ages so I figure I might as well just build my own and customise the colour however I set fit.

    Hopping to put a few of the standard kits together to get some experience before I go crazy with customisation.

    About to put in orders for the SV-1L, SG-1L, LP-1SSL. Hope I don't botch it up
    Maybe take even take on Eddie Van Halen's Frankenstrat... one day.

    Welcome Devon.

    Don't worry, there are a few others with your affliction here on the forum... but we try not to mix with them too much

    Good luck with the kits, there's plenty of help and advice here so don't be afraid to ask.
    Scott.

    Hey man! Welcome. Put in the time and effort, be patient, and you'll have a lovely guitar at the end of it, maybe multiple! Good luck!

    Hey Devon welcome, I'm a leftie as well.
    As well as the leftie kits offered, Adam will special order anything else you want leftie, so plenty of choice here.
    A couple of awesome Frankenstrats have been made here, would be interesting to see a leftie.
    Kits aside, I have a leftie Fender Telecaster, Squier Strat and an Epi Les Paul
    Where in Vic are you, I'm in Geelong

    Welcome on board! Keen to see your build progress, remember to tap the knowledge in this forum. You'll end up with a sensational axe (or two, or three ....).

    Hey Stan,
    In terms of electrics I have a Cort X, Epi Les Paul Std
    and a limited edition gibson robot guitar... which I'll never be able to play because they only came.. you guessed it right handed. But I just had to have one.

    As for me, I'm in Melbourne, western suburbs

    I managed to completely miss this thread! Welcome to the forum Devon! The kits you have in mind will make for good guitars if you take your time with them, you must resist the urge to get it done ASAP!
    Remember to start a build diary for the build and as everyone has said, don't be afraid to ask any questions, there will always be someone here who can answer it!

    Also I'm in Melbourne too, just on the other side.... And I'm not a lefty but I did start playing as a lefty!
