Hi

I have been looking around for a sort of inverted neck a la voodoo strat in left configuration and these just dont exist so was toying with the idea of putting a right handed neck on my left handed body.

Anyone done this (or vice versa) and what were the issues or potential issues. i dont mind the fender logo being upside down ..thats just another feature.

cheers

Yes, you can easily put a reverse-head neck on a lefty. You can do the same thing on a righty.

If you're unsure about finding a reverse headstock Strat neck, ask a professional luthier like Warmoth.

One issue you'll have to deal with is the nut ...

Hey! Who you callin' a nut? :lol:

OP,

Yes, the nut will have to be replaced if you plan on playing the guitar strung like you normally do. Or not and learn to play with the strings reversed.
