Left Handed Guitars are a distinct and important type of guitar. Overall, the left handed guitar appears as a mirror image of the right handed guitar. The strings are in reverse order when compared to the right handed version. Also, the pick guard (that protects the guitar's finish from pick scratches), the volume and tone knobs and the body cutaway, if they are features of the instrument, are also in mirror image. To play Left Handed Guitars, the neck and fretboard are held in the right hand while the strings are picked or strummed with the left hand.

If you're a southpaw, you will understand just how difficult it can be to find some common, everyday left handed items. Until recently, the left handed guitarist was restricted either to playing right handed, or adapting to playing the standard right handed guitar left handed, or to restringing the guitar in reverse order so as to play left handed. Jimi Hendrix was one of the greatest of guitarists, who also played left handed and adapted right hand guitars to his unique needs. These days, Left Handed Guitars are much easier to find, so there is no need for so much effort on your part to get a guitar to suit your playing requirements.

Manufacturers of good musical instruments are conscious of the needs of your needs as a left handed guitarist. Some will custom build a left handed guitar to your specific needs, but naturally these can be rather expensive. However there is no need to go to that expense to be able to create your own unique musical expression, since many great instrument makers cater specifically for you with beautiful and great sounding guitars.
