Update: 1930s Kay Deluxe Lefty-fied

Lefty-fication on archtops is pretty easy. It requires a new saddle top compensated for lefty stringing, adjustments at the nut, and a pickguard side-swap.

While this original pickguard has some imperfections on its "bottom" from the feet and hardware that had been attached to it for 80+ years, mild cleaning and a thin coat of varnish cleaned it up enough so that it looks handsome swapped "upside-down."
