EDIT: Several of you have commented that the above photo is a stock photo of a right-handed guitar which has been flipped to make it look left-handed. It's good to know you guys out there are alert, which is more than I was when I wrote this blog post late on Friday night. But the point is that the left-handed version of this guitar/banjo does exist and is what the successful bidder on the auction will be getting.

Not real. Picture is flipped. Check the headstock and the tag.
ReplyDeleteThat's not left handed, the picture's just been flipped. If you look closely you can see that the writing is all back to front.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I just looked at the eBay listing and it does say "NOTE: Stock photos." I only noticed that after I'd already published the first comment. Sorry, it's late and I'm just going to bed.
ReplyDeleteLefty? Seems they reversed the photo.. (Ah! checked the listing and saw it says, "NOTE: Stock Photos") Perhaps they do reverse the legend/logo for the musician who likes to practice in front of the mirror!
ReplyDeleteWELL SPOTTED everyone!
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see that you're all awake and alert.
Which is more than I was when I wrote the blog post.
Does anyone know if it sounds like a banjo when played through the pick-up? I can't see how it will. I've just tried youtube and kind find any video demo's.
ReplyDeleteIt should do. The bridge is sitting right in the middle of a banjo head - that's going to have a major effect on the tone.
DeleteThe product description claims there's a humbucker on that instrument.
ReplyDeleteWhere?
If there is one it's perfectly conceivable it could be under the skin of the banjo head.
