Any of the thousands of luthiers out there should be able to make a comparable guitar.

Who what??? Why Fender? Ibanez has lefty RGs that all have better playability (IMO), look cooler (also IMO) and have a better bang for the money you spend on them than any Fender. The quality of the Ibanez guitars is higher than that on most Fenders of the same price.

So why does that leave with Fender? You want a lefty Xiphos, but that aint available. Wouldn't it be that a lefty RG is the next best thing. Same quality, same hardware, similar thin fast neck.

+1

The xiphos and rg share the same necks, so they aren't that different in playability.

If it's a pointy guitar you wan't, you won't find that at Fender. Doesn't Jackson, ESP, or any other company make lefties of their pointy guitars?
