Shop for Left-handed Electric Guitars by Brand
Some of the finest, most creative guitar players have played left-handed. In years past, though, if you were a lefty, you had to get yourself a right-handed instrument and flip it over. Some players would re-string the guitar for left-handed playing, while others would just play it "as-is" upside down. It wasn’t a bad idea, since left-handed guitars were relatively rare. But nowadays, many more top-quality instruments are made in left-handed versions, with body features and controls in the correct spots. And why not? Being a southpaw shouldn’t mean you have to make do with a right-handed instrument.
At Sweetwater, we stock a wide selection of left-handed electric guitars from all the top brands in the business. Our wide selection of left-handed electric guitars from top brands like Fender, Schecter, Epiphone, ESP, Gibson, and more will ensure you have the left-handed electric guitar that best fits your needs.
