Left-Handed Mosrite Project

Postby wetbelly » Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:14 pm

I recently acquired some Mosrite parts, and I'm looking to build a guitar around them. I've got a neck from a post-Ventures model Mark I (I believe), one pickup, pots, switch, knobs, and a bridge. I've done some minor build projects in the past, but the complex contours on a Mosrite might be beyond my reach. So my question is- Is there anyone here who could build me a left-handed body, but with the neck pocket routed for a right handed neck?
