Guys, be civil, please.
Sounds like a reasonable request to me, no?

Single, I fear this is not the right place to ask for models. Though frequented by Fender staff, there's little chance you'll get what you came for. Sorry!

Cheers

Nutter

He said right handed but set up lefty so the right handed fits the bill.

Joking aside, if the cash is available, the Custom Shop suggestion is a perfectly good one.

Actually it doesn't fit the bill. Not really. Being set up leftie means it has to come equipped with a different nut. My first comment (Custom Shop) may have had been made tongue in cheek but it's really quite accurate.

To others:
Lefties don't like hearing this but they really are a very small minority of the guitar playing population. Very small. I've been playing guitar for 42 years and over the course of those years I have found literally dozens upon dozens of leftie Fenders in the music shops and yet I've never played with or even met a leftie guitarist in my life. Not a single one. From a purely "numbers" point of view, I think it's probably very likely that Fender already caters very, very well to the leftie crowd by offereing what it does.

I hear you. When I first began learning guitar when I was younger I played left handed... but then the day came when I went to look for another guitar and for the most part they were right handed.. So I got it and took what little I learned and got that going with my right hand and been a righty on guitar since.

I've met a lot of lefties who learned to play right handed because of guitar options/finishes/availiability.

Back on topic though...

I've seen quite a few lefties set up as righties but they were parted together. May want to try that route if you aren't ready for the custom shop.

If they would produce them you would think they would be just as popular as the road worn/relic lines.
