Purposely-Left-Hand Built Warmoth Strat

[Jeffblue]

I built this because I wanted a left hand strat for right handers

Warmoth Black Korina body, Warmoth roasted Maple tele neck, Bloodwood fretboard, reverse headstock, Seymour Duncan Phat Cat and Custom 5 pickups and custom routs for the controls. Schaller roller bridge and strap locks.

Wow, that is unique! I love the black korina body. I had my korina body chambered, as I think it would be too heavy if it wasn't. Mine has a roasted neck, too.

why did you put the control on top?

is it like SRVs lefty trem?

I didn't want to rout any part of the wood on the body to keep it intact. I also didn't want the controls near where my arm would be. Remember, this is used right-handed so the volume control is on the bottom.

This is a hardtail so no trem.

is that a mini switch under the 3way? looks fantastic and really unique.

Heresy.

totally dig it

Only change would I would make would be to move that vol knob to first tone position but otherwise absolute win

The mini toggle is a 3 way .022uf/thru/.047uf tone switch.

I wanted something different than any other strat in the world so I placed the volume where my arm or hand won't unintentionally attenuate while I'm playing.

I get it, I just crush my finger on Strat volume knobs in that position so I'd move it a bit further away is all. I've had a few lefties and I figure if I do another up I am moving the knobs similarly
