Product Information

Why should right-handed guitar players have all the fun? The world can be hard enough on lefties, whether that’s trying to write over an uncomfortable ring-bound pad, using a can-opener or using a tape measure with upside-down numbers. We’ve made it easier for you to find all the instruments a left-handed guitarist could ever need. I would suggest that if you decide to go the self-taught route, make sure to supplement with a good beginner book to ensure that you have a little structure in your education. A great book is Mandolin Primer for Beginners by Bert Casey, which includes free access to online video lessons. Which style is best?

We have a great selection of affordable and practical lefty models from Squier, Yamahaand Ibanez, perfect for beginners or aspiring intermediate players. These low-priced instruments will give you a rich choice of tones and great playability - all you'll need tofind your style!

They were introduced by Gibson in the early 20th century, and most modern designs are based on these original instruments. The points on the bottom of the mandolin have a small impact on the sound produced, and also provide a handy resting point for when playing seated. F-Style mandolins are generally most popular amongst country, bluegrass, and roots-style players. Whilst you can learn to play a right-handed guitar upside-down like Eric Gales or MonoNeon or restring a right-handed guitar like Jimi Hendrix, you’ll have a much easier time learning on a guitar designed for left-handed playing. With that in mind, it is quite astonishing to discover that guitar manufacturers have long overlooked left-handed guitar production. This neglect becomes especially evident when we consider the iconic image of Hendrix having to restring his renowned Stratocaster upside down. This served as a stark reminder of the severe scarcity of awesome left-handed guitars which were available on the market.Left handed guitars are not an afterthought at guitarguitar. With electric guitars from household names like Fender, Gibson, ESP and Epiphone to boutique brands including LSL, Suhr, Mayones and Duesenberg you can expect to find an excellent level of choice.
