You'll probably need to replace the nut with a newly cut lefty version. Most acoustic nuts cannot be switched around to do a righty-lefty conversion -- no front-to-back symmetry.

That floating bridge is good for the conversion. If the bass strings are set to a different height than the treble, you can do a 180 rotation on that bridge. If the string heights are the same low E to high e, then slide the bridge into the best position for intonation.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance gnease https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/righty-lefty-conversion/#post-310491 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/righty-lefty-conversion/#post-33566 Thu, 02 Oct 2008 02:31:24 +0000

How difficult is it going to be to convert this to a lefty guitar? Do I just have to remove the nut and switch it around?]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance elpantalla https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/righty-lefty-conversion/#post-33566
