Leftie-Rightie Conversion


Howdy,
I found a beautiful Oud in my area for what I have deduced to be a decent price, but it is a leftie. I was wondering if it's possible to convert the Oud into a righite. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated.

Hiya StOlaf12! Welcome to the forum.

If the headstock is set up for 12 pegs you will probably be able to convert it. Just skip the first peg hole (on the bottom) when stringing the first course. For reference, take a look at the pics about midway down this thread page....

Good luck!
