I'm lefty.
But I spotted a 85 Skyhawk...for $650. Are you joking?I'd buy it on the spot if I were righty.
I played it briefly through a (reissue) JCM800. Obviously I can't play a righty guitar too well as a lefty, but I finally got a chance to try a kahler trem--and they're awesome! Maybe the store had zero hum issues, but even with the JCM800 gain cranked and volume about halfway, it was pretty quiet in the hum department and just about saturated enough for me in the gain department.
I want one--lefty.
Don't be shy to contact the place. Keep these in the family. http://www.gbase.com/gear/g-and-l-skyhawk-1985-black
