How can I convert a right handed guitar to a left handed guitar? (and vice versa)

Are you a south paw looking to convert a right handed instrument?
Have you got a left handed guitar you can't play because you're right handed?

Right Hand to Left Hand Conversion- (or vice versa)  In order to "convert" an acoustic guitar the nut must be replaced and the saddle slot in the bridge must be filled and recut to correct the saddle angle and intonation.
Pickguards, while they can be removed, often leave a very noticeable 'tan line', so many players opt to leave them and simply add another or go without. 

Can I make my 12 String guitar into a 6 string guitar? -Most will read this and say "duh, like leave 6 strings off genius" haha.  The first issue that dissuades most would be...the width of a 12 string neck, of course if you like the classical guitar width feel, then I suppose that's not much of an argument, but twelve string guitars are built and braced for 12 strings, most of the time the reduction in tension simply does not excite the top in a way to produce a good tone, albeit there is likely to be exceptions. And in fact a few may have such stiff necks that they do not bow or relieve properly without the tension of all 12 strings. Which means even with the truss rod completely loose you may have a neck that is slightly back bowed or simply dead flat.

And for those considering true, professional conversions... the top as well as the neck is normally replaced, which will exceed the cost of many moderately priced guitars as this is being done by a luthier not in a factory, mass production setting. Keep in mind that the original top is braced heavier, has a much larger bridge, has a bridge plate with 12 holes in it and a 6 string neck will have a fingerboard that is not as wide as the original, which would leave obvious tell tale signs where the original glued to the top and where the heel meets the body.

So, now one can understand why my reply is normally...go shopping for a 6 string guitar or...leave 6 strings off.
