Hi,

Does anyone know where i can get a decent left handed acoustic guitar? i want to start learning and wanted to know if anyone knows of any good websites or shops in london/south east that sell a good range?

Thank you for your help!

Most Accoustic guitars (unless they have a cut away for your hand) can probably be easily restrung for the Left Handed player. but most decent guitar shops will sell one, im not familiar with the london area though.

As a previous post has said though, if the left handed guitar is going to cost you a lot more, you can just get a guitar and restring it.

I know someone who is left handed, and just learnt all the chords upside down

Do they sell left-handed screws to go with it?

No, but you can import them from anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.

Jimi Hendrix used to play a right handed guitar upside down and restrung. If it's good enough for him...
