Sell the righty and buy a lefty -
The bracing is wrong and honestly it will be a waste of your time - We get this same post 1-3 times a year since i cant remember when- good luck !

I bought a Saddleboy conversion kit a while back. You could try something like that - it might be all you need.

(1) - That would probably work with a guitar like this http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gretsch-...tric-Guitar.gc that is, a dedicated electric hollowbody with an intonatable straight bridge (not an acoustic with electronics added, because (2) Acoustic ones do, yes.) (3) Here's an interview with Roger Mayer, who recorded Hendrix & knows a lot about his guitars. https://www.guitarworld.com/artists/...ew-roger-mayer Last edited by frankmcr; 01-05-2018 at 01:35 AM. |

A steel string guitar with a straight saddle will never intonate correctly. |

Seems like the easiest solution would be to just take a right handed guitar and install the electronics to be played as a lefty.
This would be a much less expensive solution than trying to fill and re-route the bridge/saddle for proper intonation. By the way, you'd also need to replace the nut since it's "grooved" for the strings set up the opposite way. Edit: Just saw that you also want a cut-away. My proffered solution would only work with a non-cutaway.

mjudd, I just realized that you were making much the same point as I was. Sorry to have misread your post and then reacted to what I’d thought you were saying, as opposed to what you were actually saying.

I think the solution is that you buy a lefty cutaway without electronics.
Then - Take it to a luthier and have them reverse the saddle and add the electronics of your choice, putting the controls wherever you want them. |

If you've ever seen Doyle Bramhall II play , he uses a lefty Strat strung upside down. interesting to see him play. But thats a Strat, and has nothing to do with this post, just thought I'd throw that out, Thank You and good night !

Doesn't solve the cut away issue.
