As far as Im aware they dont do a lefty version so before I bought it I asked a guitar workshop if they could flip it and fit it. The finish on the flip side is matte as opposed to the normal side which is brushed but still looks good. The guard was flippable because of the single ply flat edge metal . However, the workshop guy had to counter-sink the holes on the other side and slightly file around the pickup area to help it fit. Only one or two holes didnt match up when flipped so a little tweaking there as well. Will hope to fit a bridge cover plate soon. [/quote] Looks, very nice. I'll let you know if I buy a 57 or a 62.

It looks NICE. I'm thinkin about buying one of these MIJ 57 Pbasses (I can't decide between the 57 and the 62... I like maple fretboards, but my other bass is a Custom order 51 pbass with the maple fretboard). By the way, where did you get the picjguard?? Thanks!

Hi! new bass player here. I see some of you have a Japan 57 pbas. I'm thinkin about getting one, but I would like to know what you guys think about the basswood + maple combination. Too bright sound? Thank you!
