A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

While not being super-stoked with what I could custom order in the perfect guitar, my hunt kept flashing me back to an off-the-shelf guitar I liked but did not go for. So taking another look at the Rivolta Combinata made me submit an offer for a preorder. I like it a bit more than the customs I had been pricing, and I would be paying a ton less. So when the shop sent a counter offer for barely more than my offer, I had to get out one of my Italia guitars and play it a while (it and the Rivolta are highly influenced by both Italian design and Rickenbacker). Having a lot of fun with the Maranello, I decided to accept the counter on the Rivolta. So I am not sure when, but I have something on its way that will look a lot like this (but lefty): What's not to love - offset, P90s, maple top, ebony fretboard, hollow mahogany body and a Duesenberg trem. Delicious.

But, but, but it looks backwards???

It is totally backwards. The picture is a place-holder, the one coming is definitely lefty!

Well that didn't last long. On ordering, they charged me and said it would ship by the end of November. I was ok with that. I just got a Reverb message saying it would be delayed until at least the end of April. I am not ok with them holding my money that long (and probably getting another delay later), so I told them to cancel. That's ok, I have other guitars I really like.

i like that.

Sometimes I think you should visit Jerry's Lefty Guitars more often!

Well crud. There was one on GC Used in Excellent condition for $800 for maybe a couple of hours before someone snatched it up. It was gone before I woke up this morning.

Quite literally: "You snooze, you lose".

I've heard these are made in the same factory as Reverend and Dusenberg (Mirr). So certainly that's something to look forward to.
