Looks really cool but these cost $400 or less at the Chinese sites and they are saying this was custom made in USA...

You'll have to ask them for a lefty.

Looks like the bridge is mounted off-centre pushing the strings over toward the E side. Probably not a practical problem for most players but would be fatal for reverse stringing.

I've recently seen Chinese Rickenbacker copies being referred to as "Chickenbacker". I like it :mrgreen:

If the build would be at least decent, would be really nice to upgrade to real Ric pickups and a 5 way switch.

The Stohn Guitar website is completely blank and their facebook page doesn't show pictures of any lefties or basses.

Their claim to fame seems to be stone guitar picks. Get it? "Stohn"?

I did the same thing- I did see one lefty bass on a Facebook post that looked to be a VM Jazz body with an SX neck, belonging to the owner, but no custom lefty bass builds that I can see (one lefty guitar however). I’d expect at least a few cool pics if they birthed a Lemmy bass.

Exactly. I flagged the listing.
