This is a pretty huge deal for us lefties! Fender has really stepped up their lefty offset game lately. Let's hope this trend continues!

Except that it's an American Professional, so...

Would it be silly to buy one of these just to mod it?
I'd swap out the pickups and maybe move the pickup selector to the original position.

This is super cool. I just wish they'd release some of the lower priced models in lefty.

Yes! Congrats! Post pics and review once it arrives. Just out of curiosity what's the expected build / delivery time for Mod Shop?

Unfortunately here in Australia we can't view the Fender US site (it automatically redirects us to a local one which doesn't have the same content), so I can't see what you're talking about :(

If anyone could post pics, that would be ace.

Anyway it sounds like a step in the right direction. Let's hope this is the start of fender turning round it's attitude towards lefties!

Cheers,
J

Same thing happens here in the UK but if you scroll right down to the bottom of the first page you should be able to "Change Your Region". Change it to the US and you should be able to see the US site.

You should also be able to get access to the Japanese site in the same way.
