I just ordered my 1st strat!! a 60's classic vibe! Im a lefty so i figured if I wanted a particular guitar I would have to order it since most places have maybe 5 left handed guitars in store.. So I ordered it today, and guitar center honestly couldnt tell me when to expect it. so I figured I would jump on here and get some feedback on the turn around on a back ordered guitar.. any input would be appreciated. thanks and look forward to getting to know some of you and the site/forum.. thanks mike

Contact Fender. It depends on where they are in the production cycle. Impossible to tell from here.

yea.... there are to many variables here. manufacture work load, travel time from the manufacturer to customs, then from customs back to the freight company, then time from the freight company to the GC distribution center.

hmm, you have the same problem I had over 30yrs ago.... I could not get hold of a left handed guitar that I could afford.
In the end I just learnt to play a right handed guitar. I never even thought to swap the strings around, like Jimmy Hendrix, I just got on with it.. lol
I think it has caused me problems though, my right picking though hand can fly like a demon but the left fingerboard hand struggles to keep up with the notes. It was never a problem with my Bass guitar but it has really shown up when I play my Strat..

i hope its not 6 weeks! i want to get started, this is the reason i didnt start when i was younger, and ive played on and off right handed, but have heard over and over again, that it would have a lull or "handicap" either with strumming, fret work or both, so if im gonna invest in learning, i want to do it left. thanks for the input, and will be around more and more as I get the hang of things.
