Good afternoon everyone,
After searching for the best possible opportunity for days, I believe all of you may be my last resort for such a complicated endeavour.
I am left-handed therefore finding electric guitars can be difficult in general. However, my next project involves finding (or more so building) a left-handed 32-fret microtonal guitar, mimicking the Eastwood Guitars Hi-Flyer Phase 4 MT and the Gizzard Saz (inspired by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard) fretting model; I have attached a picture of this specific guitar in order to display the specific fretting and my desired direction.
Eastwood does not make this guitar as a left-handed model and suggested that I buy the stock neck from them and then find any left-handed guitar with a 24.75" scale length and a bolt-on neck and replace the neck of said guitar. I had originally planned to buy a cheap Epiphone Les Paul SL and replace the neck; however, not only was this model not available in left-handed orientation but it is practically impossible to find any left-handed guitars that are both at 24.75" scale and have a bolt-on neck. In fact, I have not yet found a single one.
Therefore, I am inquiring as to whether I could use Warmoth to build a left-handed 24.75" scale body with the bolt-on neck section so that I could install the Eastwood Gizz Saz neck onto that body and then get a luthier to fine tune the rest? Moreover, would it be easier and/or cheaper to just recreate the entire Hi-Flyer Phase 4 MT as a whole guitar in itself or to focus on the body and buy Eastwood's neck?
I thank you all exponentially for your assistance since this has been an extremely frustrating and difficult experience due to my left-handed orientation. I look forward to your replies and suggestions concerning this arduous project and my very first build of any kind!
