Hi!
I have a question about the pedals and knee levers and how they are usually arranged on a lefty. I suppose that they are "mirrored", like holding a mirror on the short side. Is that correct?
Even though leftys are rare I suppose that there is a standard also for them that has correspondence to the rightys.
I will try to explain my question further:
I have a copedant that is recommended from a right-hand player and I would like that copedant on my lefty. I made a diagram, see picture. There is the righty layout and also how I have converted it to a lefty. Can you please take a look at it and tell me if that is correct?

I would do it that way. Leaving aside the argument as to what would go on your LKR.

Thanks!
Lane, please tell me about the LKR. Do you mean the LKR on the righty or lefty? I'm a newbe and I've noticed that there are some different copedants. What I'm looking for right now is something easy to get started with but also good so it won't stop me after a few months. |

Wolfgang, Fred has it right.
The change you have on LKR (RKL for right-handed folk) has two changes in one.
The 1&2 raise is a recent thing, and handy.
The 6th string drop is often seen with a half-step raise.
Putting them together is a compromise, and not a bad one. I'd just keep 'em separate on my own guitar.
