Changing a rightie acoustic to a leftie

I have a right handed acoustic guitar that isn't a famous brand but it holds sentimental value as it was given to me by someone dear. The problem is.. its a right handed and im a leftie. Not looking to getting it exchanged for a leftie (doubt there's a leftie model).


Anyone has any good guitar luthier to recommend who can help me change the nut and fill up the bridge and cut a new slot (pickguard doesn't matter).

Cheers
 
I think most guitar shops would be able to do this cos it's a simple job of changing the nuts....I may be wrong though, thats what was told to me last time

hmm.. i thought for an acoustic.. the bridge has to be changed as well?
 
you do not really need to change the whole bridge. Just fill up the original slot position and reroute for a leftie version.

1) Redo your nut
2) Fill and reroute the saddle position
3) Redo your saddle

misc: redo adhesive pickguard or simply remove it.
