SUMMER NAMM: Lefthanded Ibanez models
Here’s a win for lefties everywhere: Ibanez is finally offering lefthanded versions of some of their most popular guitars, including the Jem7VWH and JS1200. A Jemsite user found these pics at Ikebe-Gakki. Here are the pages for the Jem and the JS. There are rumours floating about the internet of a lefthanded UV777BK as well.
July 16 edit for clarity (hi cosmic ape at Vai.com!): Here’s the Jemsite thread in the Jem/Universe section: http://www.jemsite.com/forums/f15/wow-lefty-jem-and-js-92272.html
Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), Blunt, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Bandcamp or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
