Left Handed Gibson for 2017

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a legit site. and if they visit the shows; talk to company reps, etc., I'd say their info is solid enough. That said, I doubt there'll be another lefty Gibson bass to put beside my '13 T-Bird any time soon...

 

The new EB 2017 will be available for left handed players too.

 

Well, you'd never know it from looking at their website. If you click "Left handed" all you get are 6 guitars; none of which, according to their individual threads, are left-handed, either. But, I have all the pointy basses I need (or want), anyway. If they decide to make a lefty Flying-V bass, though - I'll be first in line...

 

Gee, I'm quoting myself... but, this thread needs a bump anyway. I'm pretty good friends with the Guitar/Bass dept. manager at the local Sam Ash store; so, a couple of week's ago I asked him to call his contact at Gibson. When he asked if they were going to make any leftys this year, I could hear the derisive laughter on the other end of the phone. And, when my friend told him "some of my customers can't play right handed" to the guy's comment after he stopped laughing? I'll let you guess what Gibson's attitude is, regarding left handed basses in 2017... no, I won't. The answer is "NO. If you want a new Gibson bass, learn to play right handed"...

 

Yeah, that seems to be the case. Guess you and I got lucky... (please note the mandatory rolled up towel under the headstock...)
