[QUOTE="niccolai%20nli:294473"]The reason it costs more isn't actual labor dificulties, it has to do with numbers. A company that sets up an import line of guitars spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on one single CNC machine for that one single model, the way they pay for the machines and eventually make profit is by selling the guitars. Since cnc machines don't have a button you push for 'left or right' versions, each right or left needs a seperate machine and that means it needs a whole seperate production line and assembly line. Let's assume a company sells 2000 right handed guitars of one model (wich in this case is enough to pay off the cnc machine and make profit) and struggles to sell 400 left handed guitars (wich will probably barely pay for the employees running the equiptment, let alone the equiptment itself). It's not in the best economic interest of the company now is it? So what's the best way for companies to be able to afford the equiptment that makes your left handed gear? Charging more for it. It's expensive to keep a guitar line running, so if the right handed models that they can make 2000 of sell, than 50$ for each sale they make can go to paying off the machine. But in the case of lefties, since they sell so many less, they might need to jack up the price as much as a few hundred dollars just to keep that line running. Sorry man, learn to be a luthier or learn to play right handed.[/QUOTE]
