The screw holes (on my Jag, at least) are angled on the top side. And the bottom (again, may just be on mine; correct me if I'm wrong because it'd be nice if this wasn't the case on all of them) it is not the shiny, reflective chrome, but is instead just a brushed metal look.
I checked allparts and it appeared that all they have are righty ones. I may email them if I can't find anything else. I might have to suck it up and go to GuitarCenter... Maybe they can order one. Thanks for the replies!
