How much would it cost to convert this to a right handed guitar?


It looks sweet, and possibly affordable.

    Probably cheaper to ask Spacey to make you a replica.

    You could try getting your hands switched.  I would be concerned about a surgical mistake resulting in having my hands attached backwards.  I wouldn't want that to make me look silly when I slap myself.

    here are the before and after photos of when I had my kazoo customized - I changed it from left handed to right handed and had the hole custom painted

    To me, left handed Am's don't sound right.

    According to my precise calculations with material and time. The cost should be $28.67 EXACTLY. 

    You're welcome.

    Oh ... and this one ... it's only half a million dollars. Doh! But the good news is, shipping is free! Woohoo! It would solve my hollow body dilemma. ;)

    I think the guy is lying ....

    "[font="'times new roman'; font-size: medium; line-height: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto; "]Fully original with the exception of a strap button added on the heel of the neck"


    .... they look like new strings to me.

    What a nice thing to say James. Thank you.

    "Custom" sure is used funny. My idea of it wouldn't have
    a plastic control cover nor plastic truss-rod cover...but that's me.
    (not to mention the nice plastic finish- I know...it's pretty....reminds
    me of "she's sparkly" yeah...sparkly.- Raymond, the rainman :)

    So what's custom to Jackson? Exotic top plate and charge like hell?
    And man, a five-way....don't they know what they're missing not having
    a blender?

    So do you think mine qualifies as "custom" Spacey?  It does have a plastic 5-way switch cover...

    For those that may not know...
    Steves' "Ruby" has two HB -no switch.
     
    The pictured Strat with 3 singles, a 5-way and a blender:
    With the switch in the neck position- it blends the bridge pup with the neck pup.
    With the switch in the bridge position-it blends the neck with the bridge - most excellent to add some
    warmth to the bridge pup.

    Man, that is a beautiful guitar.


    I bought a blue Korean made Fender Stratocaster in 93' just because of the color.


    I've been playing it a lot lately, it's a really nice guitar for the price. The pup's sound better than my EMG Gold's, but have that nasty hum like most stock ones do.


    I was reading on the net that there are two guitar makers in Korea that are the Gibson and Fender of their country. This blue one I have is made by one of them called Cort. ... Just did some more reading and discovered that it's 'the' Cort. The famous Cort guitar company. I never knew they were always based out of S. Korea. ... Just did some more reading and found out they make guitars for a lot of people ... Fender, G&L, Ibanez. What the heck, doesn't anyone make their own guitars anymore?

    Interesting reading on Cort guitars.
