As many of you may know I've been Jonesing for a 000-50 for quite a while now. At one time 000-50 fever had gripped the whole forum and everyone was raving about them. Good luck trying to find a lefty though. Well, guess what...good things come to those who wait. Here is my new left handed 000-50MT. Fresh from the Fed Ex truck this morning. I was hoping to find a lefty 000-50 but it never occurred to me that I'd be able to find the holy grail hog top in the 000-50. This would be a good time to thank Jeff (Bhika) for pointing me towards the leftyfrets forum where I encountered a new internet dealer who specializes in left handed guitars. BIG THANKS to Jerry at Jerry's Lefty Guitars for making this deal happen. I had to give up the Hiummingbird but I don't regret it for a minute. Any lefty players who are interested in an all lefty internet guitar dealer, check out www.jerrysleftyguitars.com to see an incredible variety of acoustic and electric guitars. Larrivee, Santa Cruz, Collings etc. Good stuff.
Now I'm going to play this thing until my fingers bleed. Tuffy finally got lucky.

That's a fine looking guitar. Wish you all the best.
Lovely Tuffy! Congrats! I'd like to try a mahogany top 000. Yours has the pickguard on the wrong side though. :nice guitar:

Wonderful find, great guitar, enjoy it (like I have to tell you that)...
Congrats Tuffy, you deserve it.
We're going to have to start some kind of lefty exchange program or rendezvous
Let's see Bluesman67 has a lefty OM-03MT Forum guitar, I have a lefty L-05MT, now Tuffy has a lefty 000-50MT
"The Lefty Hog Trio" Kinda a Kingston Trio redo. OK maybe not... :whistling:

I think you may be right. I'm learning first-hand the meaning of
Hog HeavenMrs. Tuffythepug told me that she's only seen this look on my face 3 times before; When our two daughters were born and when our grandson Frankie was born 6 months ago. I admit it. I've fallen in love with this guitar already. I just can't keep my hands off her. Someday soon I'll post some comments on the sound, playability etc. I can only tell you that for now it's a treat for the eyes and ears.
Thanks to all for the kind words. And Cowgirlie, all I can say is "aw shucks."

You may be onto something. (or just on something) If Bluesman67, Bhika, and Tuffythepug were to join forces it would be an awesome display of Hogzilla type proportions. I'm not sure the world is ready for that yet. ........but it's something to ponder :whistling:

That would be something alright. If the Larrivee tour in Vancouver ever gets an life and actually becomes a planned Forum outing, maybe we can make that happen. It would be a
Hoggin'-Good Time!
Beautiful guitar !!!!
I've added Lefty's to my dealer list web page...
Nice looking guitar....
Hey there is something wrong with the website you posted, All the guitars are backward! :humour:
Welcome to the club! Triple O's are the only way to go. Each time I go out and play other brands and models, I end up thinking to myself "This is great, but my OOO-50 is where it's at". It has kept me from GASsing my way into bankruptcy!
Kudo's for the all Hog...I have been itching to try one.

Duck,
Why would you want a pickguard on the
back side ? :arrow
