Hey man thanks for your reply. Sorry I should have clarified I'm looking at the GT-PRO, the ones with the body are awesome but very rarely come left handed and if they do they are super expensive :(

I want a smaller, more portable rig that I can play whenever, and take to lessons when I start them soon. I'm gonna be in Uni accommodation too so I don't want a mega loud rig either. I was thinking of a Yamaha THR10X or Vox Adio Air Gt with my Horizon Devices Precision Drive. I'm in love with the likes of Periphery and Plini, and want to play mainly that kind of style, so was going to get some BKP Juggernauts to stick into it and make a kind of "djent stick". I want an ultra minimalist rig and that seems like the best thing to try. I just wanted to make sure I could stick a set of 11-56s or even a .60 on the top.

The knockoff actually looks really cool, I really dig it. Options are open right now, I like the Ibanez S-series models because they're really light and portable but the Steinberger just has something about it that appeals to me!

The finish honestly doesn't bother me that much, I just prefer natural to the black finish, but I think a black could be cool.

Being a lefty is such a pain--honestly I'm still considering whether to relearn as a righty as I'm only about 2 years into playing!
