A left-handed PSG

Hi!

Iâ€™m popping over here for the first time having only been reading the non-pedal section so farâ€¦

After playing mainly 8-string consoles for around 7 years now, Iâ€™ve recently taken huge interest toward pedal steels. Being left-handed, Iâ€™ve talked to a few builders so far who have told me that they would be able to build a lefty for me (Bob Simmons, Wolfgang from WBS, Jerry Fessenden, Fred Justice, Bob from GFI).

As I have no experience on PSGâ€™s yet, I was wondering if there are any more builders whom I should definitely talk to about this? I'm located in Finland, but I will be in US between Sep. 26th and Nov. 9th, so one possibility would be to take the new instrument in the plane with me.

Thank you all very much, any advice will be greatly appreciated!

PS. I also posted on â€œWanted to buyâ€ -section, so if anyone happens to know someone with an extra lefty PSG, feel free to let me know!

I'm certain Bill Rudolph at Williams Guitar Co can build you a left handed steel.

Possibly Mullen.

I bet both WBS and Schild (German and Swiss, respectively) would do it, and save the import duties (and also be stellar guitars)

Hi Artur, and welcome. I had Bob Simmons build me a lefty SD10 a few years back. Its been a good product, needing nothing. He lives about an hour away, so it was an easy transaction. I'd like to add a D10, so I keep my eyes open.
