Because I must have pissed off some god or deity in my past life, I play guitar left handed. This wouldn't really be a problem if I worshipped Strats or Teles, but unfortunately I never get so happy to see a guitar as when I see a Jaguar or a Jazzmaster. I've come to the conclusion that my only two options for getting one of these instruments is to go with Warmoth and build one with their parts, or order through Fender Japan.

So this got me wondering, does anyone have any tips on ordering a Japanese Fender? Where should I go through to order it, is there anything specific I need to do? Is it too expensive to do? Should I just start saving every penny I earn for a Fender Custom Shop left handed Jaguar / Jazzmaster?

If anyone could point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

It's apparently VERY hard to get a Japanese Fender into America (I'm assuming you're in America). I've been talking to Sakiko over at http://ishibashi.co.jp about used basses. I've seen 2 lefty Jazzes, but that's it from them. Maybe there are other options, but I haven't found any.

Maaaaaybe you could try Yahoo Japan auctions and go through a middle man since the sellers on YJA don't like shipping to the US.

EDIT: Ishibashi has 3 lefty Jaguars here: http://www.ishibashi-webshop.jp/shop/c/c320M817/ You just have to know someone in Japan to get it shipped to and then to you, or some online service that will do that for you.
