Left Handed Guitars

Many guitar makers produce left handed guitars. At one time they were almost impossible to find but since about 13% of the population is left handed it makes good business sense. One of the biggest dealers in left handed guitars is Southpaw Guitars in Houston Texas. They've been in business for over 25 years and are one of the best known left handed guitar dealers in the country. They sell quality left handed guitars and are authorized dealers of famous name brands. My experience is that very few small retail music stores carry left handed guitars. Many left handed guitar players are content to play right handed guitars. The set up for an acoustic guitar is simple enough involving a new nut and having the saddle angle corrected. You can add another pick guard where you'll be strumming but I wouldn't recommend removing the old one since you will always have it's "shadow". I suggest buying a true left handed guitar. One that is braced and designed for the left handed guitarist. There is simply no substitute for an electric left handed guitar because of the cutaway design. The large music chain stores usually carry a small inventory of left handed guitars and what they don't have they will order. I have found the best selection is online. There is a lot of competition among sellers to get you buy and there are deals to be found. Especially on eBay. Have a look at the listings below. Check out the online chain stores and if you want a really good left handed guitar contact the folks at Southpaw Guitars.
