Do they ship all left handed Time Machine strats with righty cases? Also are most COA's printed before the guitar is done? Just got my first custom shop shipped this past weekend but COA date is 11/12/2012, so just curious.

Thanks!

You would hope not, right? All that money on a CS ...

I've owned numerous pre-owned left handed CS guitars and I've also ordered 9 Team built lefty guitars along with a Masterbuilt '54 anniversary stratocaster. Only 1 came with a left hand specific case. That was a Pee Wee Crayton tribute strat that I ordered through the Music Gallery. It's a bummer because left handed guitars aren't secured tightly in right handed cases. In one instance the high E tuner was actually bent from sliding around in the case. Fortunately the CS replaced the tuner under warranty. My nocaster came in a center pocket case which is technically an ambidextrous case. ;)
In regards to the dating of the COA's I think it's a somewhat arbitrarily dated piece of paper. 2 of my Teambuilt guitars, a '63 relic daphne blue telecaster and a '57 relic sunburst hard tail are dated 9/27/xx. Which is interesting considering they were ordered and built 2 years apart and my birthday is 9/27/xx.

Exactly, ridiculous isn't it? Similar thing when you try and get a shaped case for any lefty Tele or Strat ....
