Good news fellow lefties!

Post by Shadoweclipse13 » Mon Sep 09, 2019 7:39 pm

I emailed Fender about the possibility of finding a part number for a complete lefty US-made JM/Jag vibrato, since they make one American Professional Jazzmaster as a lefty. The customer support dude responded and said that the part # is 7712020000. I googled the part #, and it looks to be complete (though I'm not sure if it comes with an arm). Check out this PDF at part #24.

He said that it looks like they are out of stock at the moment, and not usually sold directly, although he recommended that an authorized Fender service tech could likely order one.

Fuck yeah!!

So, I talked to a local shop that isn't a Fender authorized repair shop, and after they talked to Fender direct, they let me know that they can order me a complete lefty vibrato, the same as on the American Professional guitars. $99 (i.e. close to half the price for a Mastery). It might be a couple weeks as they are currently out of stock, but I'm getting one.
