Check this out, I was one of the first to get a 2013 Gibson. Played it a few months, got offered $3000 for it, off it went. Stated my Crue tribute, went on a mission and found another one for $1550. Played it few months and gouged the hell out of the back with a spiked belt buckle. Now, I'm contemplating buying the very same bass back for the same price I sold it. *** is wrong w me lol. I have 3 awesome non Gibsons, my reverse spector clone and my hamer stripped bass clone yet I feel like. Gotta get it.

I'd really love to get details on the run of left-handed models.

Sharpies have a terrible effect on tone.

Not true. I used a Sharpie to de-relic my P. It is a Road Worn. I have now worn through the Sharpie. If you can sort out whether it is a fake, has mojo, or is just a 7ender, you can report the findings in a thread about relics somewhere. But the real thing is that time Sharpie is just marketing hype. Tort sucks tone. Sharpie is right there with audiophile power cords. I have done the research. Don't get taken!

real audiophile gear runs off lead acid batteries in the corner of your living room. just top up the sulphuric acid before you want to listen to your richard clayderman records.

I wondered the same. I was the first to preorder from southpaw guitars when I first heard. After a few months word was they stopped production hence my high sale price. When I went looking for another southpaw has 1 new one left. I think the only thing I didn't like was that the color seemed too orange to me. That and the reverse controls but I fixed that! Hell, the first one had reversed Vols and proper tone.

I got mine from Southpaw, too. Everything seemed proper to me. Or at least being left-handed, as proper as it could be. :)
