Well, hi everyone. I'm Jack. First post. Awesome forum and stuff.
I've been playing guitar for two years, and currently own the following guitars:
My first guitar. "Ozark Eagle" - originally a right-handed electro-acoustic, restrung to be a lefty. I originally played as a right-handed player but switched after a few months. As a result, I can play both sides (sort of)
My second guitar. It's a vintage 1969, Watkins (aka Wilson) Rapier 22. Left handed.
My next venture will no doubt be a Jaguar. I've wanted the Fender Jaguar HH for a long time (Before I could even play guitar). It's that black and chrome, Japanese guitar.
However
I'm left handed. A left handed Jaguar HH doesn't exist. My two options are:
1) Get Fender Custom Shop to make me one left-handed
2) Get a British Luthier to make me a lefty Jaguar with some nice modifications, at a reasonable price.
I'm awaiting a quote for option 1... I'm worried they'll quote me a bad deal.
The guitar maker for option 2 is here: (LINK DELETED LOL) - I'll actually be using a better luthier (Legra Guitars)
Option 2 seems the most tempting for me... But, at the end of the day, Jaguars were made by Fender. It's a Fender thing. Can copies still be as cool as the real thing? At least I could make my Jaguar stand out a little. I wouldn't put a Fender logo on it, that'd just make me feel cheap - you'd feel the same, right?
Of course, I could always go and buy a right-handed one and play it upside down... But meh, I don't think I'll do that.
Everyone's opinion will be very much appreciated! I want as much guidance and thoughts as possible before I splash out a load of money on my next guitar. Thanks 😁
