Is it OK to play guitar left-handed?
Learning To Play Guitar Left-Handed
If you're naturally left-handed, it may make perfect sense for you to play the guitar left-handed. Much of the dexterity involved in playing guitar -- and where the action happens -- takes place on the fretboard.
Is there such a thing as a left-handed electric guitar?
Answer: Yes. Left handed or “Lefty” guitars are strung the opposite way from conventional guitars. The tailpiece, bridge saddle and top nut are all like a mirror image of the conventional designs. One of the most famous guitar players of all time, Jimi Hendrix played left handed.
Can a lefty play a right-handed electric guitar?
You could, but you would have to restring it backwards so the low E is at the top of the strings like a regular guitar.
Why are left-handed guitars so expensive?
Left handed guitars are generally more expensive than their right handed counterparts because they often require additional time and money to craft and are produced in much lower numbers which is far less economical.
