Do left-handed versions of the cool guitars exist?

I have always wanted a Jackson Warrior or a Charvel San Dimas. The only problem is that I am a lefty. (Believe me - over the last decade, I have tried NUMEROUS times learning as a righty, but my brain just isn't wired for it. What would take me months learning as a righty I'd manage in a couple weeks as a lefty!)
So anyways, do such guitars exist in the world? (Until I get that winning lottery ticket, I want to avoid paying thousands for a custom guitar.
)

Do Jackson not make left handed models as stock guitars. I'm sure i've got a catalogue that lists dinky's and warriors as left handed models. So they must make them, i'd have to digg out the catalogue and have a look.
I found this website thats for lefty's and all guitars of the left handed varity. Enjoy

The people there seem to think it's fake.
I already own a left-handed Jackson DK2 and a Les Paul, but I plan on selling the DK2 and the Les Paul is so damn heavy! I have a friend who knows a lot about electronics, so I might just buy a left-handed neck and body and ask him to help me with the pickups and stuff. (eBay sells guitar parts for pretty cheap.)

I had a friend who played lefty bass... he wanted a Mockingbird style bass, so I helped him build it, but he wanted a righty flipped over with the knobs set for a lefty... it looked like crap to me with the horns swept up...

You could get a right handed version and re-string it and play it upside down like Jimi Hendrix. I do that with left handed guitars (I'm right handed) and I think they honestly look better. Especially with a Strat or Les Paul.

Looks like right now you can get a Rhoads or a Soloist. Those appear to be the only 2 offered in a standard model. Of course the custom shop will build you what ever you want.

I should offer you some advice. I would check out Carvin. They offer a full line of left handed guitars. Their build quality is as good as anyone else. So if you are looking for a San Dimas or Dinky style guitar they offer the ST 300 and the Bolt. The ST300 is neck through and the Bolt is their strat copy. They recently offered a floyd on the bolt. Also they are very reasonable as far as price is concerned. After I get my custom shop Jackson (dream guitar) I will be getting more Carvins.
