Dude, I have 2 guitars to pimp-out, 1 guitar body that needs to be turned into a pimped guitar proper, a student loan to pay back, and THEN I can think about getting my lefty 8!

URGH, I'm going to have to sign a contract stating I won't put money into an Oni until I attempt to build my own guitar but man...I've got GAS bad.

the micro mills are only good for hardware and maybe small templates and stuff like that. They cost about AU$3000. The smallest ones I can find to so a good job of necks and bodies are more like $10000. The template sytem I've got going is pretty efficient. I can see quite a bit of time needed to get a CNC working properly with wood - it's far less predictible than metal and plastic.
Lefty multi-scales are no more trouble than right handed ones in my situation. Altering a production line is difficult though.

Oh but making guitars for lefties is serving satan - as they are all the children of incubi.....

May not be much trouble now - but later on when you are boiling in pitch with all your lefty buddies - dont say i told you so.

I have to agree, chords feel more comfortable.
