Re: Your Lotto win Guitar
The Only reason I would do that is Because i Hate guitar manufacturers who don't make Left Handers or Left handers in the right models for the right price and for those manufaturers who only make cheap S***ty things which are not any use to anyone.
Alternatively i would do the above, then make a Youtube documentary about me ordering it, reciveing it, chopping it up into firewood and Burning it. (this would work best with a right hander IMO)

Urm PRS make everything in southpaw (with the exception of guitars with a Bigsby) for the same price as the right handed models. They don't get imported to Europe and some retailers like to slap a premium on them as they have to special order them. Rose Morris in London don't and call out other people on their website.
Gibson charge 20% extra for south paws and Fender up to 50%

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar
I'd have a whole stack of cool, rare, odd and interesting stuff however the real questionh here is not to list all the stuff you want or haw many things would you buy but rather what would you buy first...
First is interesting and I don't have a positive answer but I have a good feeling it's be one of 2 things...
I'd want the most cherry example of a pre war Martin OM-28 I could find...this 1930 model woudl do quite nicely!
If not that then an early 60's Gibson Barney Kessle...I'd have to look hard to findthe perfect one but one from 61-63 with original PAF's and a colour that was either real dark on the outside like this one:
Or one that was real faded like this one:

I would buy a 1952 blond/blackguard Tele. I would also try to buy one of Joe Strummer's Teles and grab a '72 Tele Thinline RI.

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar
Sorry, but I think you've been misinformed. PRS only makes lefties via Private Stock order, and those definitely do NOT cost the same as the equivalent right-handed models (prices start at $7,000).
Starting in 2000 they made left-handed versions of the McCarty, Custom 22, and I believe also the CE 24. In 2005 they abruptly ceased production of all left-handed models. There was an alleged quote from Paul stating that he was "no longer willing to cater to the fickle left-handed market." They don't even make lefty SE models.
Used lefty PRS's pop up once in a while, but because they are out of production they command a very high price. I've seen lefty McCarty's go for $4,000 on eBay.

That is not what he says on his website, he says that they make them but stores don't carry them. Two UK store claim to be able to get anything LH bar the Starla Bigsby. Every shop here carrying PRS has at least one 25th 24 LH for the same price as the righty.

If I won the lottery, I'd get a planer, a router, a drill press, a band saw, a 3-axis CNC, half of the **** they sell at Stew-Mac, and a pile of swamp ash and maple up to the ceiling!

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar
I would complete my Randy Rhoads Rig... 6 white cabinets loaded with Altec Speakers, 2 more 1959RR Sig heads, put into black head boxes to go along with my 1959RR in white, a 1974 LP Custom in White, a 1992 LTD Rhoads (Made to the same speck as the original White Jackson), a 1994 PCS Rhoads, a Sandoval Polka Dot Vee, a bunch of MXR pedals and other things...
A 1959 LP Standard
A 1957 LP Goldtop
A 1959 Telecaster
A 1957-8 Strat
And probably a bunch of other stuff.

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar
Good for Chuck Levin for doing that. I imagine you won't see too many other dealers being able to work the same kind of deal.
Still, $4k for a Custom 24 when the right-handed models are nearly half that is a bit hard to stomach.

Re: Your Lotto win Guitar
$10M? I would spend only the fracture on geetars
I think, I would invest a part of the munny in the little luthier workshop of a friend. Dad and son company, father makes some incredible classical instruments, son is interested in elite-class electric guitars (he is also a brilliant drummer).
Probably, I would also order a load of Warmoth parts, just for fun.
