If Epiphone made a lefty Ripper, I'm betting that a bunch of us would already have ordered one. If I knew where I could get the parts to build one, I'd do it. If I owned the tools to make one, I'd make it from scratch. But why aren't there Warmoth type builders for set neck instruments? Is the level of difficulty too much for ordinary average guy?
I would love to have Les Paul DC bass and guitar too--but with colors of my own choosing. I wish there were a build site for Gibson type guitars.
