Rare as hens teeth these days... sold my 300L 4-string last February to a forum member... Don't think I'll ever sell my 305L 5-string.... good luck on your search! |

There's a cheap PGB1 in Belgium right now, but maybe not so cheap anymore after customs and shipping costs. Paul Gray slipknot lefty € 230,00 http://link.marktplaats.nl/m1120340350 |

Just a reminder about buying any instrument with any rosewood on it, if it has to cross any international border. The new CITES regulations take effect tomorrow. They are very strict and include any guitar/bass, even if it is used and a private sale. If you attempt to import/export any bass with one of the 500+ listed rosewood species without a certificate it will likely be held at the border and possibly seized permanently. Getting the certificate looks like an arduous and lengthy process as well. Warmoth and USA Customs have ceased all international sales of rosewood fingerboards as well as other makers. Hopefully this will allwork itself out in a few months but for the time being.... be careful. Maybe someone else knows more than me. But based on the little bit of research I've done, that's my take. On a brighter note, this might mean that Fender starts making some lefty maple board necks again....... |

Good point, I hadn't thought of that! |

Yep very good point indeed. I just posted an update on this in the Leftorium. |

Let me know if interested: I have a NOS ATK300L that I would consider selling...  ...as well as a mint condition PGB1 signed by Paul Gray himself and other members of Slipknot. Any or all signatures can be easily removed if desired, but Paul's choice of signature was so sadly ironic that I just couldn't ever bring myself to remove it...

And the fretless versions of the ATK300, but to the best of my knowledge there's no lefty model of that. |
