She's a beauty. With no F-Hole that is an Albert Collins set up to dream for, enjoy. :happy0065:

Yes, that would be difficult. G&L do lefties right ;)

Oh my word. Congrats.
Lefty anything (let alone a BB) is hard to come by in my part of the world (down under). So much so I am seriously considering having a lefty ASAT classic semi hollow turned into a BB
But that one ticks just about all the boxes I think. Enjoy

Will, that's one beautiful Bluesboy! I haven't got the itch to acquire any more guitars for a while, but I haven't disposed of any either. With my hobby band, which has started to gig somewhat regularly now, we play a few songs that require a whammy bar, and I just can't bring myself to bring along multiple guitars to switch around when we play. So I've only been checking out instruments with tremolo.

A Space Tone 30 should be glorious! Pretty much the only amp I use is my Atomic Space Tone. I'm looking forward to hearing your ST 30.
