Kinda funny 'cause I prefer the "backwards" righty headstock.

Speaking of lefty Rics, here's a shot from one of last week's shows.

I agree with you Ronn.  The righty headstock just looks right on a lefty. (did that make sense....)

I could live with an upside down headstock but the smiley TRC just looks wrong.

The upside down head on a lefty looks great, I think. But not on the righty.

BTW, both of your Rics I see on the pic (the one you are playing and the one on the background) have shorter heads or longer TRCs?

All lefties have Plexi TRC's which are longer than raised letter TRC's.
