Any chance we'll see a leftie version of these beauties?

I hope you don't have to wait another 40 years for that.

I emailed Fender customer relations about this. Sadly they aren't planning on making either the Coronado or Starcaster in lefty. WTF?
Like it isn't hard enough to find great guitars in lefty models. Heck, all the signature models don't even come lefty. Now we can't even get a China model lefty.
Thanks, Fender.... :(

There's no alternative route than the expensive Custom Shop for a lefty Starcaster or Coronado!

I've gotta say, Fender is one of the worst companies for lefties. Anything cool that comes out, they never offer to us. I honestly think that the Starcaster or Coronado would sell really well to lefties. They could compete directly with something like an Epiphone Dot. From what I can tell, left-handed Epiphone Dot guitars sell very quickly at my local stores.
Fender continues to disappoint!

man that sux I'm a righty but still you would think after what Jimi and Kurt did to boost the companies prominence they'd have more compassion and respect for the left-handed freaks of nature jk for shame.

Consider changing your screen name to 'sinister 1017'?

Hi Rob, I've noticed that lefty guitar models are rare too.

I just went on kind of a rant about being lefty I just seen under browse new because I check the site 2 times a day the new hot rods strats and teles and its such a tease because to be honest I'd buy one right away in my little friendly rant I said that fender witch they state they don't have the tools to make alot of leftys and they sit on the shelves forever but at least make a limited amount 10 out of a 100 limited versions at least I pray one day we will have the option like rights and at least we won't have to flip our axes over

Fender kicks G*****'s can so far as lefthanded AFFORDABLE guitars. When I started playing again around ten years ago I was thrilled to find a MIM Strat for so cheap. Epiphones are decent (I have a Casino) for the bucks and very easy to find. It's no surprise to me that lefty models are limited, it just doesn't make good business sense to make limited runs for a small audience.
