I seem to recall seeing the occasional left handed Jr.

Great little basses.

Couldn't we all just help if we had these people's arms cross-transplanted?

That's great, Scott. If Henry were still in charge, nothing would have been done.

Either that, or something would have been done to make things worse.

Yery commendable, Scott, credit where credit is due.

Well done, Scott.  Since you have some pull, could you help a brother out and ask Gibson about left-handed options?  :)

And that short scale Epi pro bird...

The new price was probably to cover the improvements. Still a bargain!

It's consoling that something that ugly can still sound well. Nature has a way of compensating.

Could be, but Epi often increases after an introductory price. Didn't they do that with the Vintage Pro TBird?

If so they're probably testing the market. Good sales offers an opportunity for increased prices.

They did. Happens with a fair portion of the product line. It seems that there is an obligatory $50-75 jump after the first six months or so.
