I am a lefty player and as is usual every year, not all colors and editions are available in left handed version, Now I have the chance to get jade pearl right handed stratocaster body, my question is if I can pair it with a left handed neck without any compatibillity or playability issue.

Thank you.

1- You'll have a reverse headstock
2- Nut strings slot won't fit , you must replace the nut

Yes neck will fit alright if it is same country made neck and body .

Best is to post on Stratocaster guitar , more expert there.

Yes it will work but your controls will be upside down.
You already knew that, I assume.
Stratele52 sometimes misses things because English is not his mother tongue.
You are a leftie fitting a leftie neck onto a rightie body.
The nut slots will be fine playing leftie because it's a leftie neck.
The neck pocket will be fine.
The controls and trem arm will be upside down.

Just think of how awesome a guitar player you could have been by now if you had only spent the last 10 years practicing instead of obsessing over pickups and roasted maple necks.
