If you prefer to use your left hand for most day-to-day stuff, then it's likely that you'll feel more comfortable playing a left-handed guitar. Luckily, we stock an array of left-handed models, both electric and acoustic, for both the beginner and the advanced lefty guitarist.
Left-Handed Electric or Semi-Acoustic Guitars
Since most guitarists are right-handed, the choice for left-handed guitarists can be a little bit limited. Since we think that nothing should ever hold you back, we stock as many left-handed guitars as we can get our grubby mitts on. So you should have no problem finding just the right electric or semi-acoustic model in our range of electric guitars. If you're looking for a left-handed bass guitar, then take a look in our left-handed bass department.
Left-Handed Acoustic and Classical Guitars
If you're looking for a left-handed steel-string acoustic guitar or a nylon-string classical guitar, then you'll also be able to find the perfect left-handed acoustic model for you. In our acoustic guitar department you'll even find stage-ready electro-acoustic guitars and electro-acoustic classical guitars with a left-handed setup
Left-Handed Starter Packs
If you're a left-handed beginner looking for your first guitar, then you can't go wrong with our left-handed starter packs. These packs don't just kit you out with a left-handed guitar but all the necessary accessories to help you get started. If you've spotted a left-handed model that isn't part of a starter pack, then scroll down the product page to see the bundle deals we've put together.
Left-Handed 3/4 & 1/2 Sized Guitars for Children
If you're looking for a left-handed guitar for kids younger than 12, then you could opt for a smaller model like a 3/4-sized or 1/2-sized guitar. If you're a little older but find a smaller model more comfortable, then no worries, because these guitars are basically fully-fledged guitars, just smaller. Once you've found the right model, scroll down the product page to see all the available bundle deals.
Can You Turn a Right-Handed Guitar into a Left-Handed Guitar?
If you've spotted the guitar of your dreams and can't find the left-handed version, even though you know it exists, then let us know by filling in our Product Request form and we'll see if we can put it on special order for you. If you know that you can't get a left-handed version of the guitar you want, then have a chat with your local guitar luthier to see if they would be able to convert it into a left-handed guitar for you. If you know what you're doing, it's even possible to convert a left-handed guitar into a right-handed guitar.
When you compare a left-handed guitar with a right-handed guitar, everything is mirrored, so when you play a left-handed guitar, you grip the neck with your right hand and play the strings with your left hand.
You use exactly the same techniques to play a left-handed guitar as you do to play a right-handed guitar. The difference is that you grip the neck and hold down the strings with your right hand and pluck or strum the strings with your left hand.
If you do most things with your left hand and consider it your dominant hand, then a left-handed guitar will probably feel more comfortable. With a left-handed guitar, you grip the neck with your right and play the strings with your left hand.
If you're already familiar with right-handed guitars, then you'll immediately see that a left-handed guitar is like a mirror-image of a right-handed guitar. Everything is flipped, from the order of the strings to the headstock, and if it's an electric guitar, then even the pickups and controls. If you see a guitarist holding the neck in their right hand, then you know they're playing a left-handed guitar.
Left-handed guitars generally have the same price as the right-handed version. This means that you can just as easily pick up a left-handed acoustic guitar for around £50 or a left-handed electric guitar for around £75 - just like right-handed models.
