Hizzuh! I mentioned wanting to see the pearl & swirl lam tops return a year or so ago, nice to se they're back.
With them and the new chambered Jazzmaster bodies and the JM bodies with Tele routes in the showcase, I think I'm going to have to seriously re-think my next order. Or just order more. A lot more. Forever. The orders will never cease.

Is there any love for us lefties coming soon???
i see all this amazing stuff in the showroom for the right handed folks and have not seen any new left handed stuff in months, I know its a much much smaller market and probably isn't cost effective to produce. But i get jealous seeing all this right handed wood porn.

Thats the thing about internet - as soon as you come up with a business idea, someone comes and undercuts you for free.
??? I've always wondered about left vs. right handed guitar playing and if it is really even necessary for there to be a difference. When you first start playing, both hands suck equally at fretting and picking. Your preferred hand is doing just as demanding a task as your non-preferred hand.
I think the only reason the I chose to hold it the right handed way the first time I picked up a guitar was because that's what I saw more people do, but I remember thinking that my right hand was stronger, so it would probably be better at fretting chords than my left. :icon_scratch:
I don't know though, I never tried to play a lefty guitar when I was first starting out. I probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Carry on. :icon_tongue:

I've always wondered about that, too. I'm right-handed, so my right hand has a lot more coordination than my left. Since your fretting hand needs to do a helluva lot more than your picking hand, you'd think that you'd naturally want to use that one to fret with.
But, it may be that since righties have such natural control over their right hand and don't need to pay as much attention to it that it makes more sense for it to be the picker. It'll do what it needs to without as much conscious monitoring.
Don't know. Don't care. Just curious.

Interesting Cagey, as I'm Right handed. As a Butcher my Knife was used in my right hand.
But … I have always eaten with my knife in the Left hand.
Probably because I'm Right handed & I can feed my face a lot faster with the fork. :icon_biggrin:
If your right handed try doing something Left handed …. It just doesn't feel correct or normal.
I wonder if thats the same for Lefties :icon_scratch:
Think it's all in the picking hand anyway, as it's easier to look at what your fretting hand is up to. :toothy11:

"First it is necessary to examine why a standard right-handed guitar is held in the direction of the neck pointing to the left. This tradition of the guitar being held to the left like many of the traditions in guitar comes from the classical guitar which was the dominant guitar style when the guitar was being developed. Until the 20th century the guitar, both classical and popular, was mostly played by finger-picking instead of with a pick. In finger-style guitar both hands are performing complex and difficult tasks but the finger-picking right hand is the one performing the more complicated tasks. For this reason the right-hand was given the finger-picking task and the left-hand the fretting task resulting in the guitar pointing in the leftward direction.
In the last century, playing the guitar with a pick has become much more popular and widespread to the point where there are far more players who can play with a pick than with their fingers. Picking with a pick is a much simpler procedure than finger-picking yet the direction of the guitar has remained true to tradition. I would argue that theoretically for right-handed guitarists who have no intention of finger-picking, it may actually make more sense to play a left-handed guitar since the stronger right hand would be the one doing the fretting which is more complex than picking with the pick. Thus, I don't think that left-handed guitarists playing with a pick are at any disadvantage playing a right-handed guitar and may actually be at an advantage.
For guitarists who want to finger-pick or who think they may want to do so in the future, the issue is more complex. While the finger-picking hand is generally considered the more complex and difficult of the two hands, both hands are performing complicated and difficult tasks. Any advantage won by switching one task to the strong hand has its counterpart in that the task performed in the other hand suffers an equal disadvantage. The question is whether the advantage of having the strong hand for the finger-picking hand outweighs the disadvantages of playing a left-handed guitar. It should also be noted that there are many left-handed guitarists who finger-pick with their right hand and nevertheless are very skilled at finger-picking."

I think that opinion piece is on the right track but draws the wrong conclusion. It's not just finger picking, it's because the dominant hand controls the primary rhythmic function, and THAT requires more dexterity.
Couple more pics that were posted to the Warmoth FB account.
I thought the family pictures were very cool. It helps underscore how many options are available.
We always swore we would never do a maple board on a non-maple neck shaft. So it was crazy to see a handful come out for the Showcase. Ken picked walnut for a neck shaft and finished the entire neck. These are only available thru the Showcase.

I for one love this. I'm just sorry that someone else snagged it before I did.
