maybe someone can help me, a week ago some one told me about a music store in the city that caters to lefty's, trouble is I can't remember the store or where in the city it is and i have not been able to contact this person & everyone i ask does'nt know... I would really like to find this place, cause I tell ya it sometimes sucks being lefthanded, I'll walk into a store and they'll have 200 guitars and maybe if i'm lucky there is 4 lefty's.
so if anyone knows this place let me know cause i can't find anything on the internet...
keep on wok'n & woll'in :cry: :( :!: :!: :!: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

There are most always left oriented guitars on Musicians Friend.

Then you could always string a righty upside down, like Hendrix.

Carvin.com custom builds as well as sells left oriented guitars too.

I've never played one of their axes, but all their other equipment I own has performed flawlessly.

Sounds like something off of The Simpsons...& if I recall correctly, Ned Flanders went broke with his lefty shop.

If I had a store like that, I'd call it "On The Other Hand," or "Left Out."

You sure somebuddy ain't pullin' yer thighbone?

There was a store in Erie called "Right Minds" that has nothing but left-handed stuff, but I'm not even sure if it's still there anymore.

As far as the left-handed guitar thing goes...I'm left handed, but I taught myself to play right handed. So did Michael Angelo Batio. Just a thought... :wink:

I have a lefty Fender MIM strat with a righty neck.

If you switch out the plastic nut, you can have a nice blues strat with a reverse headstock.

If you are interested, I'd sell it to you for 250$ cash.

It's midnight wine color and completely stock..

Left-handed guitars always cost extra new. I don't get that noise.

I was just reading in the Houston Chronicle about a guitar shop here in Bellaire Texas called Southpaw Guitars and has a website called
left-handedguitar.com he claims he has over 1000 lefty guitars in stock from $99.00 to $7000.00 he also say's a lefty costs slightly more than a right handed guitar.
