Silvertone 1410L Converted To Lefty

P.A. brought me a nice Silvertone 1410L specimen for some structural repairs including a new nut and a new bridge to be cut & set up for a left handed player.

This instrument was suffering from "rising tongue" (upward sloping of the fingerboard after the 14th fret) which caused the notes to fret out badly after the 15th.

Rising tongue profile shot w/ frets removed.

The frets were not friendly about being removed from their slots.

No more rising tongue. Hard to tell from the picture, but trust me it's gone.

I put the old frets backs in and gave them a level n crown. No more fretting out.

Lefty nut and ebony truss cover

Lefty bridge made from rosewood.
