I have always wanted to play guitar, and now that i am an adult with adult money i am finally going to learn. I am a lefty, and i do just about everything lefty and always have. archery is about the only thing i know i do righty and that is because the gear i had access to as a kid was right-handed.

I have access to a right-handed guitar, but not to a left-handed guitar to compare.

Curious what other sinister guitarists think before i shell out cash for a lefty.

    I’m a lefty. Learned guitar right handed. Been playing for 30 years.

    Reasons to learn right handed: guitars are (generally) cheaper and easier to come by.

    Reasons to learn left handed: if someone hands you a guitar at a party and asks you to play ‘Wonderwall’ you can easily decline.

      I will agree with the easier to come by, but browsing Sweetwater they are the same price as righty. And the fact they are all the same price is the only reason I am considering a lefty.
