A guy I met at the guitar build lessons saw the BaCHbird and was impressed by the quality vs price.
He's a lefthanded guitar player and he's been dreaming of a lefthand Firebird for quite a while.
So I told him BaCH builds these too. But they only have them in black. He has enough black guitars already.
He asked me if BaCH does custom colours too.

So BaCH made a one off custom colour lefty firebird.
I sold it to him for 310 euro (and even made a small profit)  :o

I have to hand it to BaCH, they are flexible enough to do things like this and still at a reasonable price.

Anyone care to name anyone else that could have done this, and I don't only mean Roman here...

Rob, you deserve a lot in this too...

Thanx Kenny. I really like doing things like this. It makes everybody happy. The guitarist, me, and BaCH too as they obviously love making them.

Today another lefty guitarist came to me. He wants a spalted maple top explorer guitar, which BaCH only offers as righthanded.
BaCH is going to make a lefty for him. But is going to take a few months.

Maybe they'd do an Uwe Sig model for the crew... ;)

Nice guitar! But burst colors arent my cup of tea.
My ideal firebird would be a Pelham blue II with a wraparound bridge, just in case somebody would like to make me a custom made present for some reason.  ;D
