Q: OK, this is the closest forum I can find, so here goes. I really want to buy a Rickenbacker 620. OK, easy enough...go to the music store and buy one, right? Wrong! Rick's are still in very short supply...I have heard estimates for delivery up to 18 months!

A: Go on guitarcenter.com, or musiciansfriend.com. You should be able to find what you're looking for there.

EDIT: Ok, I just looked there myself, and they don't have lefty versions. But what you can do; is buy a normal one. Reverse the order
