I once walked into a guitar shop and asked to see what they had in lefties. They said nada, "they don't make a left handed piano!"
I was bummed.
My local guitar shop doesn't stock any lefty's... Unless they get one in on a trade from someone who ordered a new one... But it is understandable, there can't be too many of us. I always wonder the % of the population that plays guitar, then cut that down to the amount of lefty's... It has to be a relatively small number... But I have been decently lucky on finding some pretty nice lefty guitars over the years, so I shouldn't complain.
Guitar center just filled for bankruptcy, so I'm pretty sure they'll be having some big sales before Christmas.
I have $20 left on a gift card. Making a trip there today to close that out and take one last look at the place.
PS - I realize bankruptcy and closing down are two different things but Guitar Center has been on the death watch for years.

While GC has been on thin ice for several years, I would not expect them to completely shut down anytime soon. Someone will come along and buy them up once Ares has squeezed their last drop of blood out of them - just like Ares did once Bain was done with them some years back.
Conform!
"I recently picked up a used '18 Player Tele and it is an amazingly wonderful playing guitar. I love the 9.5" radius neck. I've always preferred rosewood but the maple fretboard just works on a Telecaster and I dig it.
The block saddles at the bridge are great, no wounds while palm muting.
I like to tinker and mod guitars, but with this one, there's no real point as the stock pickups sound so good. When I get time I'm probably put a 4 way switch in it for series parallel, but that's a back burner project.
Knowing what I do now, I wouldn't hesitate if in the market. "
The fact that the new street price on these is $699 means that, if you like the color, this is a no brainer deal. The "Player" series seem to be a better run of instruments overall than the previous "Standard" MIMs.
If I didn't have a house full of guitars and basses and an observant wife, I'd grab another Telecaster, as I play that guitar more than my Ultra Jazzmaster or my Vintera Strat (and others).

....wondering ....have they gotten better or worse or about the same?
I believe it was called artic white and was white back then.... but now is more of a yellowish tint cream color.
So ultimately they might end of at Adorama to be liquidated.

Is this just a chance to let suckers loan GC money to fund golden parachutes for upper level management?
