    your best bet is to buy your guitar and buy an aftermarket neck for lefties.

    Fender doesnt offer apart from some 1 model right now what u want. Try to find that model www.fender.com i dont know the name now sorry.

    A custom shop will be over 2000 grand probably im not sure about the pricelist since im european.

    Build your own with Warmoth parts. That would be the easiest and most economic way, unless you can find a used lefty and convert it. Perhaps you could even find a used hendrix strat. Did you want the whole lefty vibe or just reversed neck and pickups? If the latter is the case, then a parts guitar will be the way to go as the route for a right handed strat won't accomodate lefty pups...I don't think.
    Huh?!
