Haven't had a look, but I think if you go onto a right handed '72 post, and invert all the images, well Bob's your Uncle!
Nah, seriously, it should be pretty similar to be honest

U think its expansive ? I went to warmoth and a couple more builders asking them to build me a lefty deluxe they wanted muchhhh more.if you calculate the total of parts you will see that its not much.i also contact him and he said that its a full hand made ,not a cnc or anything.he said that its a two month of working.i wish i had the money ,i wouldn't have thought twice.

Built a lefty deluxe a few years back. Allparts do a very good CBS strat neck but tuner holes need widened to fit "F" tuners and neck bolt drilled (I used 4 bolt as micro tilt parts were hard to come by and I was told they have stability problems) also got pickguard from allparts pup holes need a bit off work. Guitar part resource is where I got pup's bridge and tuners. Bought an unfinished ash body from Warmoth (used Danish oil for finish, although contemplating getting finished body from Warmoth in resent timed) neck and body fitted like glove.
I can't estimate the cost to build due to import taxes and being blessed with a good exchange rate at time but a *** deluxe was going for £1000 (mine came well below that). I used 1 meg pots as well. I will post a picture.
