My first lefty Jazzmaster is on the way
It's been a long search. I wonder if those jammy right handers have any idea how fortunate they are.
Just bought this Fender American Pro II Jazzmaster body from eBay seller Stratosphere:
I was keen for daphne or sonic blue, but fukkit, I'm tired of waiting. Miami Blue looks good to me.
An interesting twist to the pricing story - a new Mod Shop lefty Jazzmaster here in Australia is $3,400 AUD. A new Fender USA Professional II Jazzmaster lefty is $3,000 AUD (street price, currently only available in Dark Night). The Stratosphere body + shipping + customs & taxes will end up costing me ca. $1,500 AUD.
I can pick up a suitable neck with rosewood board for <1000 AUD.
I'm probably saving some dough doing it this way. I didn't expect that.
