Very rare. Jack Bruce used to play one for a while, and John Paul Jones has also been known to play one sometimes. A wellknown Dutch player of these is Henk Bruysten of Hank the Knife and the Jets. Check out their tune 'Guitar King' for an impression of what these can sound like :)

There was another little band from Liverpool that used to use these too. ;)

Southpaw Guitars had a lefty custom shop one a few years ago. "Yours for only $6000". :roll:
