Gaskell Rockitt (2011 - 2012)

Note: This model is now only available through Custom Shop.

​

​When I first started making left handed guitars I had no intentions of doing a left handed Les Paul style guitar. A few years later I relented, after being talked into it by lefties from all around the world, and then started producing something like a lefty LP. Gibson / Epiphone was going through one of it's "no lefties" stages. But other brands still made them. 

​

Released in 2011, the Gaskell ROCKITT surprisingly sold well, much to my surprise. I made a number in Custom Shop too after 2013.

​

I think there were lefties who wanted to give the middle finger to Gibson for flatly refusing to show any regard for us. Just about every guitar brand on the planet makes something like a Les Paul, but not all make lefties. Gibson at that time was very lefty-adverse too.

​

Of course, I made mine better and although numbers were small, some nice guitars made it into the hands of some very talented lefty guitarists. 

​

Gibson makes lefty Les Pauls these days, and so do others. I offer a lefty Les Paul style guitar through Custom Shop. 100% made in Australia. Prices start at AU$ 5,000.
