I support the left, tho' I'm leanin', leanin' to the right.

Anybody here ever flip a guitar? I mean go from right handed to left handed (vice versa)? Assuming balanced bracing, besides the nut and saddle having to be reversed...anything else? :? :?:

 

[jgwoods]

All the notes come out upside down...

 

[taabru45]

Not if you play lying down while looking in a mirror. :lol: Steffan

That's why some pickup-systems have a phase button, you know :mrgreen:

But, seriously folks...I once made love to a girl so fat that after we had sex she smoked a ham. (parump pum!) :lol: :lol:

Hey Gunslinger,

I'm having a right-handed GAD F-212E converted to a lefty by Guitar Guys in Heath, Ohio. Hideglue said that a Guild was not a lefty until the final assembly and that the bracing was symmetrical. So besides the nut and the saddle change to correct intonation, the only other thing would be your preference for a pickguard. Since I both finger-pick and strum, sometimes in the order of Richie Havens, I should have a pickguard.
Best to ya!!

Speaking of the saddle, what do they do there Billy, fill in and recut the saddle slot?

Whass THE bassman got to do with it ??????????????

 

[jgwoods]

OOOooh saddle slot...didn't think of that one. That adds a whole big step to the challenge.

 

[chazzan]

I have turned several right handed Guilds to lefty- they have all sounded great and given me no structural problems.

I have to have a new nut made, fill and re cut the saddle slot for lefty, and then make a new compensated bridge- classical guitars just need a new bridge and saddle.

Pickguards optional.

Appalacian Blues: let me know how you 12 string conversion turns out and post pictures!

With Peter Brown, The One True Jack (not Jack C the poseur) was the co-author of 'Politician' ... confirming what people had known about politicians for a long time.

Jeez !!!!

Too lateral, even for me !

Why am I thinking that pretty soon, a whole lot of shite is going to drop out of the sky and upon you !!

And yes, I wonder WTF when the two Jacks are mentioned with the same reverence.

I guess so ... I fear neither the veer nor throwing (real) gas on a flame or two ... I also note that The One True Jack has an extensive song-writing bibliography, appeared over and over as a vocalist (a/k/a he could sing), and made a credible buck or two alongside Leslie ('The Behemoth') West ... these are things to his credit that may not be as apparent in the resume of the other Jack :wink:

 

[coastie99]

OOPS !!!!

Now some of that shites gonna land on me ............... that was supposed to be a PM ! :lol: :lol: :lol:

No matter; like they said in The Godfather ... every now and then a little blood has to be spilled ... I hope I can count on you in the coming hostilities ... I'm personally preparing to take issues with the other Jack's choice of headbands ...

 

[fronobulax]

OOPS !!!!

No problem. You are among "friends".

If you'd like to make your case you might go here. I figured the "You don't know Jack" discussion was worthy of its own thread, unless it comes down to a tag team with fronobulax and mellowgerman on one side and capnjuan and coastie99 on the other. :wink:

Don't forget the players to be named later; Kurt and mgod; he of the smash-mouth collection of Guild basses. The Creams may not have so much as clotted as separated like curds and whey ... there having been some acidic feelings betweens Messieurs Bruce and Baker (autobio of EC).
