    Default Custom US builder, who can build a lefty F style Mando

    Hi all, Mando player (beginner-ish). I have a Big Muddy custom mandolin, and now I'm curious if there are any builders out there who are willing to build me a F-style lefty. I know its a significant $$ increase from my A-style and what a F-style would cost. Looking to expand my inventory. Thanks!

    Hi there,

    I'm not from the US, but I do know that renowned builder Audey Ratliff is left-handed, so I'm guessing that he'd be a pretty good place to start your search. To be fair, I'm sure that many builders could turn their hands to making a lefty version, but I do know that Audey is left-handed.

    Hope this helps,

    John

    Yes, Audey Ratliff was the first one I thought of as well.

    There are quite a few custom mandolin builders, and I don't think I'm being too far off base to suggest that the majority of them would be willing to build you a lefty at the right price for them. Check the builder section here and make some inquiries. There are probably builders near you.
