This seems like a thread where you don't know what you're doing.

First off, buying a left handed guitar isn't a "Meh", its the kind of thing that you should be taking deadly seriously. If your idea is to string it backwards, then that isn't simple, at all. Controls, intonation points, and the guitar's nut and bridge will all be backwards. Its very, VERY rare that such a configuration actually works satisfactorily.

Seconds, none of your links work.

Third, You haven't told us what kind of music you play.

Fourth, You haven't told us what equipment you have already

Fifth, why are you looking at vintage instruments? In my experience they're either massively overpriced and under played, or they're beat to hell and back and need an awful lot of TLC to get back into shape. On top of that, vintage doesn't mean good. There are an awful lot of vintage guitars that are just the budget models of yesteryear. Soviet era russian guitars are a primary example. They can be very collectible and very desirable, but its pretty much accepted fact that NONE of them play as well as their western counterparts. They're desirable for other reasons.
