Hi, im a lefty… as a massive Metallica fan i always wanted a black Explorer with the Lawsuit headstock.. Gibson dont do a lefty and ESP wanted 6k. I eventually found one made by Agile (a small company from new jersey) on Ebay for 200 quid!!BOnus.a change of pickups and i have my perfect guitar! it was only available in USA but was imported to UK a couple of years ago. it plays amazingly well for a cheap guitar and sounds great. Now all i need is a ESP KH 202 Lefty and somehow to get a Gibson Zakk Wylde lefty…if anyone can do that…GIBSON>>>>>DONT BE TIGHT!!

Everyone’s born right-handed. But the smart ones outgrow that

I hate being left handed, its the worst,the two guitars I have I wasnt given the chance to play before I bought as they had to be bought online or ordered in especially and had to pay for when it was ordered. Im currently looking for a semi-acoustic and they are impossible to find in shops so again im resorting to interenet shops but im planning to spend around £400 so dont want to gamble it. :-@

YaP.
Thats true buddy, I m also a left-handed guitarist from Pakistan. And you will be surprised to listen that there not a single piece of left-handed acoustic or semi-acoustic guitar in any of the guitar store in PAKISTAN!

Unfortunately I crushed my number 1 finger as a kid on my right hand so I cant bend it at the tip. So I cant push down on the string properly.

I have found a guitar which gets rave reviews on all sights. Its an Ibanez AEL10LE. Then unfortunate bit is I can only order it from America.

To you all, there is a site called anythingleft-handed.co.uk Which does everthing you can think of left handed. Even note pads!

I thoroughly reccomened checking it out.

I just received in the post from them a £1.50 thumb pick.
I cannot belive it but I have just doubled my playing ability wearing it. I have only been playing a few months and had problems missing strings every now and then. I have not missed or plucked the wrong string since!

I think I’d switch back to right handed ASAP if I were you.

Its even worse for me I am ambidextrous (just try spelling it!!) I write with my left hand, kick a football left footed.

Play golf right handed, hold a racket in my right hand, and dont even start on what way I go down the slop on a snowboard I am still not even sure how I made it down myself.

After finding I can play the guitar both right and left handed. I setled on left handed playing being more comfortable, I have also been looking for a left handed guitar and yes you are right there does seem to be a lack of them. So far Tanglewood seem to have the largest range.
