Need help finding a left handed biscuit cone resonator
I'm not sure if this is even on the market. The only left handed resonator I've found is a Republic tricone. Is my only real option to convert a righty to lefty?

I *knew* I'd seen one somewhere. Here's one on Reverb.

The biscuit saddles on Nationals aren't compensated, so all that needs be done to convert from righty to lefty is to change the nut, and reverse the biscuit.

As the moustachioed one says. If you wanted a tricone, you'd be in an expensive situation. But a biscuit? Not so much.
I've always tweaked my saddles, so I'm not sure what comes out of the factory anymore, but you may, and that's a big may, want a fresh biscuit depending on how the slots are cut in the saddle. I'm going to assume national just cuts a "V" but I can't remember. Even if it is just a V, if there's enough mileage on a used guitar, it's probably not a V anymore.

Try gold tone. They offer a couple of lefty resos.
