Not sure where you'd get one, but Angela's tends to be the best bet - and they have helped me find odd things before if it isn't on their site. This is it
Looking at the one on their site, the screwholes are beveled (?) but other than that it looks to have flippability
I'll upload togs for the interested, now to the wudtone thread to phrase what I want from my wudtone.
These guys have been great to talk to

It's a difficult build as spares for Bass VIs and build specs are hard to come buy, even harder if you factor in the left handedness and my particular quirks.
... it's not as if I'm a young stripper paying my way though uni unwittingly boring you with my life story
Also costs are spiralling as the tortoise shell centre-piece and pearloid control surfaces are costing £70 to get delivered and an extra control plate is being custom made due to the left handed nature of the build.
The body finish is fantastic, marred only by my dropping the bloody thing
The headstock is a success but I'm wondering about giving it another go.
When I put the Deep colour coat on the body it drank it up! Not so with the headstock. I sanded this back and tried again - I suspect the mistake I made was putting too much deep colour coat on in one go - I've lost all sense of the grain - it looks okay... but before when it was dark grey it emphasised the grain in quite a nice way - I just didn't want dark grey and the base coat wasn't darkening it too radically.
So, if I you think there's value in sanding it back, I'm proposing to try again, by having two coats of the deep colour coat then using the base coat a few times. I think you might have been saying that previously but I misunderstood it.
Have you any advice?
so the basecoat fell into the swamp ash and didn't sink in so much on the headstock.
my solution on attempt #2 on the headstock was to put too much base coat on on the first go ... I didn't know if it'd work if I built it up.
I'll need some more base coat if I take the headstock back and try again .. if that's possible or adviseable.
