One thing that all the major guitar brands utterly fail on when it comes to making left hand guitars (if they even do) is fitting them with proper left handed guitar knobs.
Obviously barrel knobs have no numbers, so they don't matter. But numbered knobs for right handed guitars are backwards on left handed guitars. Unfortunately tolerating wrongly numbered guitar knobs on left-handed guitars has become "normal" for left hand guitarists. Only because its never been any different and we've all gotten used to it.
Well, we shouldn't have to. If you pay good money for a left handed guitar then you should expect that guitar to have proper left handed guitar knobs too! End of story.
Gaskell Guitars from Australia sells left handed guitar knobs.
I have them specially made for me. You cannot just buy left handed guitar knobs anywhere. That's always been part of the problem. I keep them in stock and I don't care what guitar you want to fit them on. I care more about your left handed guitar having proper left-handed knobs! Yes, it is a pet hate of mine. It may not be yours too. But it's unprofessional as far as I am concerned.
If you are a lefty guitarist and you are bothered by having right hand guitar knobs instead of left hand guitar knobs on your guitar then your issue is now resolved. Gaskell Guitars sells proper left handed guitar knobs for left-handed guitars:
Left handed Speed knobs,
Left handed Bell reflector knobs,
Left handed Top hat knobs, and
Left handed Fender numbered knobs.
