EKO Ranger bridge.
Hi.
New member here. Looking for help regarding my EKO ranger 12 string. I have just purchased a right handed ranger but I’m left handed. Reason I picked the ranger is my teacher has 3 and highly recommends them. Also left handed 12 string are very far and few between. So I would like to know if I can get a left handed bridge for my ranger. Or any recommendations on which way to go. Saddle and nut are not an issue just the bridge. Regards Ricky.

I would think that any luthier who does repairs could make you a bridge to match the one on your guitar. Same shape, with the holes should end up in the same place, just the slot for the saddle would be different. If the saddle is already compensated that would have to be replaced as well. I would also get a new nut made since all the string slots would the wrong sizes.
Or you can make or modify your own saddle and nut. You might also be lucky and have such a high action, that the nut could be sanded enough to loose the grooves and re cut. One other thing I would check is the bracing. If your bracing is not symmetrical, the bracing for a left hand guitar would be need to be adjusted as well. That's the reason, I learned to play right handed guitars. Saved me a lot of trouble.

Does your EKO have an adjustable height saddle? If so, that might make things a little more difficult.
Replacing the existing bridge with a left hand model might be an option but whether the holes already drilled in the top match up is another question! Here's the only left-hand 12-string bridge on eBay for US$32.99  https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/009-9285...frcectupt=true
