Beautiful Lefty

lefty guitar from Froggy Bottom

Finally, something for one of the many great left-handed guitar players out there... This featured guitar is a left-handed modified Model J/ DeLuxe with Florentine cutaway, of spectacular 82 year-old Brazilian rosewood; Adirondack spruce top.

Unlike most J models, Lefty has a slightly deeper body and a scale length of 25.25" (vs. the normal 25.5").  These modifications give this instrument more complexity of overtones than most J's, make it a bit friendlier to the fretting hand and make it an extremely versatile guitar, equally at home with either light or medium guage strings.

This is an instrument for a player who wants just one guitar which will truly cover all the bases.

P.S.  The rosewood is "to die for".

Price: $16,900
