Welcome to the Forum.

I imagine since there is not one already there probably will not be one. But I have been wrong before and will probably be wrong again.

I doubt there will be one since fender seems to be fairly limited in its left handed choices. If you have your heart set on that one, you could try warmoth.com to see if you could get one custom made. or make one yourself if you have the tools. Its a fairly stripped down no frills guitar so its definitely possible. But as far as a normal production model, My guess is that there are no plans for a lefty version.

That's the answer i was afraid of but i told myself that maybe they were goin' to produce one cause it's like the fusion between fender and metal... and that's quite the first time...
Also, i think it wouldn't be a loss cause many lefties we'll be interested im sure...

Just for curiosities sake, What makes you think many lefties would be interested?

Ok... so that's my humble point of view...
I think first of all that the price of the jim is not very expensive for a signature, compared for example to the mick thompson which is actually around 1500...
Second of all, the guitar is not expensive for the quality...

Moreover, the guitar's really compact, maybe one of the lightest with EMGs because metal guitars are often heavy.
It's a tele touch with an heavy sound... I think the idea will seduce cause for all i know, the people i've talk about are enthousiastic...

Then, lefties have a very restricted choice in guitars, even with fender, so it'll be good to widen the range of models (and i think even if the guitar does not become so popular, it'll be not be so much of a big a deal...)

Tele + EMG, one on the best combination between a great play and a heavy sound...
That's why i think it'll be interested for some...

thx for ansking and tell me what you're thinkin' about it...

Very interesting. I was just curious.

Well, as a fellow Lefty I have no interest in a Tele, EMG's, or a Metal Guitar. But that's just my personal opinion.

I just built a Dave Murray Strat......

Having it set-up, pics to be posted soon.....

But thats not the point. Lefties should have the same offering of guitars at a reasonable price.


:twisted:
