You're building a 7 string, or are you planning to assemble one from bought parts. Or are you planning to buy a body and build the neck?

Pointing you in the right direction is: Sign-up on to projectguitar.com and spend hours reading the tutorials.....and state you project to the community and have them comment and point you in the right direction. (Worked for me, so should work for you!!)

Also smart to get Martin Koch's or Melvyn Hiscock book: Make Your Own Electric Guitar. Both excellent reads.

For Lefties parts are some what harder to come by. But what guitar are you planning on creating? What kinda hardware......then it's much easier to point you in the right direction.

I think Chris Woods might have a Lefty RG body in stock in his store.

For a lefty, depending on the shape you'll be okay with you could possibly just modify a righty or ask warmoth if they can do a lefty.

for parts, I assume the only real lefty part is a tremolo and you can get them off guitarpartsdepot.

Or see if you can snag a Lo Pro Edge from a K7 or something.

HOLY SHIT, SOMEONE MIGHT ACTUALLY WANT PAULY'S FELINE LEFTY!!

Seriously, he never seems to be able to sell the thing, and it's fucking gorgeous. Someone find that damn link, or link him this thread. :lol:

Have you concidered ordering a Carvin neck and simply adding body sides?
