I don't remember who was inquiring about these a while ago, but it appears Mike is offering lefties again, sunburst.

Meanwhile, it looks like the Eastwood Magnum is discontinued, so grab 'em while you can. I did a Google search and the only lefty I could find was at Jerry's Lefty Guitars:

Way, way back in the day (sigh), a Moserite Ventures signature was my first "real" bass. It was also my first "real bad" bass. I would not want it back. Maybe the modern copies are better.

I bought one of these back in '05. Interesting thing about mine though is it's 32" scale length. I don't know if Eastwood was originally making these 32" scale or if mine is some rare lefty prototype. I can't speak for the new Hi Flyers, but mine has a dark, aggressive gnarly tone that's pretty unique:

Well for starters, the neck on the Eastwood is nowhere near the thin pencil width of the originals. Depending on your preference that could be a good (or bad) thing. In fact, the Eastwood has one of the wider necks I've ever encountered on a 4 string. I like it though.
