Welcome, UnholyBread!

For buying a guitar on a budget, I usually recommend eBay and the used instrument racks of any shop you can get to. Looking for a specific model makes it more difficult. And left-handed anything is even harder to find.

I suggest sending a Private Message to PonyOne. He's a very knowlegeable left-handed player who often contributes to this forum.

Good luck!

ok, so i discovered that vintage doesn't make a lefty version of the wraith, but i've been searching around and have finally narrowed my choices down to 3, they are:
Ibanez GRX20Z
ESP M-50
Washburn X20

i've spent ages trauling through reviews of all three guitars and they all have good points and bad points, im starting to lean toward the ESP, but im still not sure, could i have someones opinion on this?

I can't help you much regarding what you're asking for, but I'm posting here coz I'm tickled by your nickname.
Out of curiosity, is there holy bread? Or you mean the unleavened stuff used in churches?
Oh, and welcome to the forum.

my nickname has alot to do with my email address.
my email "toasterfromhell" came from me yelling at my toaster whilst litening to meatloaf, bat out of hell. i guess unholybread comes from my current dislike for bread, although it may have something to do with a mouldy version of the stuff found in churches... im not all that sure, oh well, i hope you found this somewhat helpful...

The only way to really be sure is to take an actual guitar in your hands and play it. It's unusual to find a lefty axe in a store, because an owner doesn't want to take a chance on having a hard time finding a buyer. You could look at right-handed versions of the models you want, but that isn't the same as playing it. Have you contacted PonyOne? He may have some pointers on how to get what you want.
