Default Guitar for sale

I have a left handed, hand made Ganz classical guitar purchased in 2004. Indian rosewood with engleman top. French polish finish. Originally paid $2600. The guitar has a symmetrical bracing and could be switched to right handed. The nut is not glued in and can be replaced easily. The top is slightly tapered to accomodate the trebles but how much of an effect this would have on the tone by switching the guitar to right handed I can't answer. I have original documentation and a cd with various stages of the build. It comes with a padded case. I am looking for $1800.00 plus the cost of shipping.

This guitar is fully symmetric and the bridge looks uncompensated so just swap the strings around (and maybe file the nut slots a bit) to make it a righty ? Am I missing something here ?

I would think you would want to replace the nut with one made for a right handed instrument in order to properly set the string height for each string at the nut. As I said, the nut can be removed . It just has to be tapped from the side and it will slide out to the point where it can be lifted out. The saddle would have to be swapped out so the guitar could be properly intonated. The guitar binding is snakewood and the rossette was also made by hand with tiny pieces of wood glued together.
I am selling the guitar in order to pay for the huge vet bill which I am accumulating. I have a six year old dog that in the past week became ill. Appears to be a stomach or colon issue and he is probably going to have exploratory surgery this morning. He has been in a lot of pain and not drinking or eating. I took him to Long Island to an exceptional vet who I use to frequent when I lived there. The local vet here was pretty useless and afraid of the dog because of how he is reacting to the pain. I thought a vet would be properly schooled on how to handle an animal in pain. They don't have the brain capacity to realize that you are just trying to make them feel better.
I have other items I will be listing as it becomes necessary. Possibly my Taylor 514ce and an ultrasound acoustic amp. Also a Korg N364 music workstation. Items are in mint condition.
