Default Small CF guitar in lefty version?

Hi,
I would like to purchase a small guitar, such as Cargo Raw, for travelling or playing outdoor in winter etc but I need a lefty.. Are you aware of any lefty currently produced and in the low price range?
Thanks
Marco

I would swear that I read a comment on Emerald's FB page that they offer all their regular models (not including specialty guitars like the harp guitar) as left handed at no extra charge. I would contact Emerald directly for details.

I Marco, in addition to ordering an Emerald from Ireland I'm fairly certain we can get you a lefty Blackbird.

Thank you Ted, anything below a grand would better fit my GAS. Any suggestion also about particular brands or models? Is it possible to change the bridge to a std wooden one and convert to lefty? This would enlarge my choices and open to 2nd hand market too...

I would suggest looking at the Emerald T8 and X7OS. They're both small, go for just under $1000 (new with no electronics) and I'm pretty sure you can get either left-handed.

Not sure about replacing the bridge, I would either go with the Emerald already suggested or simply get a Taylor GS Mini for $499. Greta tone and playability and they seem to be plenty durable.
