making a lefty with a cutaway is REALLY disorientating.

everything is just.... WRONG!!!!

and it's not just me, I remember talking to George Lowden and he had a guitar that was SUPPOSED to be lefty, but had ended up righty, because after making two tops and two sets of sides, it was SILL Righty!!

so, to make sure that the back goes on the BACK.....

I'm afraid I scribbled a bit on the tail block where no one will see!



and then glued the back on





cut the soundhole...



then started bracing



and added a maple bridge plate



glued up a neck, mahogany with a walnut stripe



and then started the sums for a fanned fretboard. remember it's a lefty.... my first lafty fan.... and I MUST remember that the fan goes the other way!!!
