Left-Handed Acoustic Guitars

A left-handed acoustic guitar is an acoustic guitar that’s meant to be fretted with the right hand and strummed with the left—it’s a backwards version of a standard acoustic guitar. Though there are plenty of left-handed players who play a right-handed guitar, many lefties prefer a guitar that’s made for their needs.

Generally, left-handed guitars might cost a little bit more when they’re new. That’s because they’re not as common and builders don’t make as many of them. However, lefties might find good deals on used left-handed acoustic guitars for the same reason. There aren’t as many southpaws, so left-handed guitars might sit unsold for a little longer, which can drop the price.

A reasonably priced and built left-handed dreadnought guitar is a great choice for beginners. Since dreadnoughts are such a popular shape for acoustics, they’re easy to find in a variety of price and quality levels.
