Actually I tried one in store not long ago ( a righty) and these can be flipped over easily. I think it make more sense in the way the bass is shaped actually. But I don't know if they make it.

Epiphone did a very limited 1 time run of lefties back in 1999. I grabbed mine from Southpaw Guitars around that time:

Your best bet is a Tokai T-Bird, which are still readily available lefty though not distributed in the US.
