Hi everyone, I,m Eugen AKA oigun (That's the way you pronounce my name). I'm an cabinet maker /restorer and since a year or so my hobby is lutherie.(especially electrics) I've build a couple of guitars (10) And I like it! And when your house is full of guitars what do you do? Build them for others. Hopefully I can make a living out of it in the future we'll see. For now fun is the most important factor. Forum member Olav asked me if I build him a lefthanded Mosrite clone he discussed here on the forum the (un)availability of parts. The hardest part to find is the bridge. So we have to use a mustang bridge or I try to make one from scratch... But I save that for the building thread which I start when the first piece of wood is cut! Forgive me my bad spelling and abuse of English because I'm dutch and so is my spellcheck.
Hey Eugen, a pleasure to welcome you here. Being a Cabinet Maker must be a grand way to make a living, man ...and then building guitars too, wow. I'm sure we'll be looking forward to the Mosrite Lefty thread which you'll be starting some time. Good luck with your project. By the way, your English is fine!...but then...I'm a Dutchman too, heh heh
Welcome to the forum. Please let us know the progress of your project. I think a lefty Mustang trem would be the easiest way to go, but there are some other possible improvised solutions I can think of.

Welcome, and yes keep us up to date with your project. We love them here. Several of us have built PartsRites from Mosrite stock and a few build from scratch. A great bunch here and all will help if you ask.
