    ... some TULSI related questions...

    ... but before that, since this is my first post, let me introduce myself. I'm Suraj from Bangalore (working at Yahoo!, living for Music). I'm learning and playing Carnatic Music on the Guitar (so far an acoustic but planning to get electric).

    I have some tulsi related questions:

    1. I'm a left hander. Does TULSI make left-handed guitars too?
    2. Has anyone got / seen a scalloped fingerboard made by TULSI? Is TULSI good at it?
    3. How much do you think would this cost approximately? (see specs below)
    4. How long do they take to deliver a Guitar? Do they ship it to bangalore?

    I'm no expert with Guitar hardware funda... but nevertheless does that mean I shouldn't try writing my specs? ;) I would be very helped if the experts here can review my specs and give suggestions:

    thanks and hoping to see a reply!

    Hey Suraj.. I'm from Bangalore too.. Tulsi Will make Left hande dguitars..
    Tulsi is best at what they do..
    Charge is according to your specs. Like pickups , Wood etc.. I cant give you their prices..
    It takes like a month after you place the order../ Its not advisable to have it shipped here.. Cause You have to check your guitar throughly before taking it.. Else for any changes you wil have to send it back.. Although till date no changes were required on any Tuilsi Guitasr I KNOW HERE.. I owned a Tulsi and Take my word it ROCKS..

    Can you please give me a rough estimate on how much it would cost by looking at my specs:

    https://puggy.symonds.net/~suraj/my-guitar-specs.txt

    or even roughly, taking into account its going to be a left handed and scalloped fret board....

    Jay bud, for 12k would I get a good quality guitar from Tulsi? I want a typical Metal guitar, Ibanez or Epiphone Explorer specs.

    Thulsi Guitars

    I have been using Thulsi guitars for 10yrs...seems to me that there is no competition in India....This guy is talent....I have played on real Ibanez and Strats.....There doesnt seem to be much difference in the feel or the slope of the fretboard....and morever these guitars are made for indian conditions...a bit heavy though....but lasts a life time...
    just manage to sneak a few bucks out of your pockets if you r really looking for the Twinkling Pro pickups..
    About scalopped fretboards....No big deal for him.......
