Years ago, I injured the ring finger of my right hand, so I switched to playing lefty. I purchased a left-handed student classical guitar made by G V Rubio through GSI which was a fantastic instrument. My hand healed and I no longer play lefty anymore, but why don't you contact Dave Tate at GSI to see if he can get G V Rubio to make you a left-handed flamenco guitar. It might cost a little more than the Ramirez, but it will be worth it.

Hi Al,

Give me a few moments, I'll go pull out an FL2 and check if it's symmetrically built inside. If so, then it's as simple as flipping the strings around (well, and a new nut/saddle). Stay tuned...

For the record, the vast majority of guitars are perfectly symmetrical in design, and will work just fine as either righty or lefty (given strings/nut/saddle). There's no real need to seek out a guitar that's designed from scratch as a lefty, as that'll severely limit your options. That said, of course there are a few designs that are asymmetrical as well.
