It makes no sense to me why they woukd charge 100 extra dollars to the price of a left handed guitar. And BTW what I had in mind was a website of sometime type where you can see a gallery of buyable guitars. Not Ebay, but something similar.
the increase in price is a throwback to the hand made manufacturing days. it took a little more work to make a left handed model. it's not just a matter of flipping the guitar over, especially when it comes to the neck / headstock. but with today's modern manufacturing plants there's really no need for the price increase.

musician's friend (as was linked earlier) is a great site to browse your options, you can set up a gallery pretty quickly using the options on the left side of the page. right now they've got 53 lefty electrics listed.
