Man, you can't go wrong with LTD (1000 series is my only experience - 2 guitars), ESP or Edwards. And LTD EC-1000 is one I stupidly traded in back during one of my failed attempts to get anywhere with guitar. Definite regret!So, like one of these?

I have an Edwards built just before they switched from SD to their own pu's, so I can't speak for those. It's a very very well built guitar, great tone acoustically and plugged in - no issues whatsoever. Well unless you count my neighbor who said "doesn't feel like a Gibson". Yeah, ok. He's paralyzed by the name on the headstock.

Are the headstocks made out of balsa wood like the Gibsons?

Being a skinny ass bitch is one of the reasons I couldn't get on with any of the PRS Singlecuts I tried. No ass.

Do lefties still get screwed with right handed pots wired up the wrong way or have they started using reverse taper log pots yet? I used to be in a band with a left handed guitarist and always ended up rewiring his controls for him so they worked properly.

Pathetic. How hard is it to buy the right pot, especially considering left handed guitars are already more expensive.

I genuinely can't remember what I've got my Orville now. It is either a left handed CTS pot I got off some eBay shop, or it is a right handed Dimarzio Custom Taper.
I think as a lefty you just get used to the right handed ones, and it becomes the way you know how to play guitar. I never look at the knob numbers or anything like that, coz it is generally pointless. I think my guitar on max is like, 5 or 7 or something on the knobs!

Most people probably don't really notice I suppose. Most of the other guitarists I've met have the volume consistently on 10 and use a tuner to mute their signal.
