Inca Silver Lefty Strat

[JPP]

Here is my completed HH Lefty Strat. Body is Warmoth Strat in Inca Silver with recessed TOM, rear-routed, with a contoured heal. I drilled the 3 pot holes based on my layout preferences. Currently it is wired VVT with Planet Tone Legacy Humbuckers. The neck is a Musikraft with Jescar stainless steel 51100 frets, dark rosewood 12" radius fretboard.

I love this setup for its simplicity (string through body, Tonepros TOM bridge, Gotoh locking tuners). It plays and sounds fantastic.

That's real nice but I can't play left handed guitars... js

Me neither but I try

Honestly I played right handed for most of my life (40+ years) but a left hand injury stopped me for several years. As a natural lefty, I relearned playing left handed about 3 years ago. So here I am, natural lefty formerly playing right handed and now left handed. My brain and hands are very confused

Very clean build!! Might be the first Inca Silver I've seen in the wild, reminds me of my dad's old '55 Porsche 356 (and now I'm scheming a tribute build)

Really nice -looking guitar. Glad to see a lefty! Hope to see more of them.

That's a real beauty!

I am a righty but played in a band with two lefties for years, and got real used to grabbing their guitars and playing 'upside down and backwards' (fretting with my left hand).

The drummer in my Moscow expats band had your same issue with "forced to play lefty", his motorcycle got ran off the road by a drunk driver and he ended up with his (Hamburgered) left hand full of pins so he can 'hold a pick' but not much else. He used to play a little righty guitar before so I got him on track playing lefty and he now has four very nice lefty guitars and is more proficient than ever on guitar.

Inspired by his success, a couple years back I decided to buy a lefty guitar and lefty bass for "Brain-training" (Play them real lefty, fretting with right hand).

WOAH!!! That is a truly humbling experience... I have decided to postpone that experiment and sold both the lefties as I don't have a studio anymore where they could legitimately be left hanging as "guest guitars".

I admire those who can play with their left hand, toes, nose, teeth, ears... I still haven't conquered standard tuning.
