"Got any lefties?"
"Yes, we've got BOTH kinds of lefty guitars. The $100 one and the $3000 one."
LOL I was scrolling down to type this exact thing
Facts
The $3K one being your average Les Paul with the sunburst
i just want a pretty guitar that i don't have to customize is that SO HARD TO ASK
Funny because I relate
I'm a left handed person. My dad bought me a guitar but that guitar have a right handed string. So I'm really struggling using it because everytime I'm practicing, I'm using it upside down. I've decided to adjust it and turn my guitar to right handed string so that I can practice much better. But my brother told me if I ever do that, there's a chance that the tone will change. Then, I watch videos in yt and found out that there's nothing wrong being a lefty. The tone with an upside down string will always be the same. And Ive decided if my dad will buy me again a guitar. I will told him to buy a lefty one
Monica Velarde-Jeon Jimi Hendrix used a right handed guitar but stringed for a lefty
Reversing the order of the strings works fine - that's what Jimi Hendrix did after all!
My 3 guitars all were intended for righties, but I have them reverse-strung so I can play them lefty and they work just fine; personally, I wouldn't bother paying the extra for a specialty lefty version...And I actually prefer having a reverse-strung formerly-righty electric- even if cost weren't an issue - because with the whammy bar on the top instead of the bottom I can use my forearm/wrist to manipulate it while playing.
I can play upside down like graham of air supply
Someone wants to know about left hand guitars in the USA and guitarguitar said they have one in Texas it looks like the one is probably southpaw in Houston Texas. FYI. I'm not paid by them. They've basses and guitars that are of course left hand.
I play both right and left handed and recently I went to my local guitar center looking for a left handed bass and they didn’t have it so I can relate 😢 but I ordered one on Amazon anyway 😎
idk how to play guitar but i want to get a lefty one and learn. the yamaha looks nice.
@@PLAYERSLAYER_22 nice
Where can I find a "left handed" Mustang for $200?
Your store is fantastic, and why are more not doing it like that?
The way things are in most shops, after my car accident, I thought I would have to watch other people play guitar. I had to learn left-handed guitar and use a special pick, but I just now bought the left-handed Gibson Explorer that I have wanted for 20 years; a guitar that Gibson told me would never exist because it was not worth their while (no market). It cost me $2000.00 and might not come to me for several months (because of demand). It includes the case, but it is a lot to go through for a guitar that should exist in every large shop that sells electric guitars.
Try finding left-handed paisley tele or strat, or try to find a left-handed signature model.
They are all made on CNC machines! It does not cost more to make a left-handed guitar than it does to make a right-handed guitar, and EVERY model should be available in a left-handed model; no excuses! If I do not have a left-handed guitar, I cannot physically play guitar.
I have gone into large chain music stores, and they have one or two guitars out of hundreds of guitars. I am sorry, but I want something well-made, but not the price of my first car. That $300 starter model made in a communist backwater that they also have is a sick joke! It was made out of compressed newspapers and old soda cans or whatever bits the Chinese slaves could find on the trash heap that afternoon. On the other end, I did not need the $10,000 model made from the waka-waka tree of East Timbuktu. The pickups were wound by monks in the East Indies using magnets made from the metal off the Telstar Sattelite and Elvis' coat-hangers; they painted it with oils derived from Pinguin droppings, flowers found on Guam, and the Monty Python parrot (you know the one). It is made just like the one that Jimmy Page held in that Car Wax advertisement from 1968.
wow i love
I wish more stores had half of that selection.
Same
Honestly
We are more than happy to help the Leftie community :)
Id be stoked to just have 1/5 of those options. I've been to stores coast to coast, it's so disheartening!
@@guitarguitaruk do you know how much is for ship one of those to brazil??? Here we just have garbage.
I've never seen so many left handed guitars in a store.
i´m gonna start my own guitar company and build the most beatiful guitars, but only for us lefties! and charge double the price for righties!
mark my words my dudes!
I’m in with you dude. Let’s do it!
YEAH MAN, you've got my support
lefties unite
Yess!
Where do sponsor this movement? lol
An left handed guitarrist is drooling when it watches this
It?
English much?
lol....are we lefties now ET´s!?! :D
Yup
Thanks Kakyoin
Same.
I ain't left handed but this is genius
We had a good time doing it. This was only based on the selection we had in that store at the time. There are a heap more on our website :) Feeling the Lefty love.
warms my heart to see someone who cares about us lefties, appreciate it
As a lefty, I'm in total awe. Wish we had a GUITARGUITAR here in the USA.
Hes actually right i always go in the strore "any left handed jacksons" he rubs his head and says "we got a tele" xD
Absolutely correct. Left-handed Tele...LOL.
My local guitar center has one left handed guitar and it’s a jackson
But, bass guitars :(
I have left hand bass lol
They are good for left hand basses too!
Try finding a store that sells left handed basses.
Ebay! Hahaha!
I had a self satisfactory eyegasm.... even if it doesn't exist but I def had one.
I'm left handed and I thought this guy was nice about it cause most are like dude play right nimrod.
I trying right its impossible switching to left like hendrix
OH MY FUCKING GOD YES I'm like "oh you want me to play like I'm right handed? How about YOU try playing like you're left handed and tell me how comfortable that feels???"
@@havocarius
People ask that from drummers, too. I play both, and on more than a few occassions I was asked if I couldn't just play on the standart right-sided kit....
Righty players just don't understand. It's like pulling teeth to explain it to them.
Agreed
After being frustrated with german stores and the lack of optical variations in their left handed strats (either black or sunburst look), i just now bought my first 2nd guitar from you! Thanks :D
Always happy to help 😁
Dude is EVERYONE in the UK left-handed?
every guitar store ever: yeah we pretty much only carry rightys sorry :)
this one gem: dont worry we got u :)
pinetop: dUde iS EvErYoNe iN ThE Uk lEfT-HaNdEd?
Finally! I'm taking a flight and coming right now!
I have a lefty friend and we were discussing this just yesterday after watching a video of someone taking a lefty and making it a righty. My friend doesn't ever care about going and just looking because none of the local stores carry any lefty's other than Squires.
Sure wish you guys were across the pond.
And I've got to say.....this was one damn great video. Keep it up and I' ve subscribed. Thanks for the posting.
A mi hasta me llegaron a decir que no se fabrican mas guitarras para zurdos jajaja
Viviste engañado men jaja
It makes me happy to see such a selection!
One of the biggest issues with being a lefty player is that you can't really try before you buy because you have to order it online because no store holds that exact guitar. Sure, if you're after a sunburst budget strat, you're fine, but if you're after a Danelectro or a Univox or an 8th string or anything "non standard" you're screwed.
Our local store had (or maybe has, I don't know) the natural Pacifica as their lefty selection. A bit better than a sunburst or black & white Strat but not much. I bought both my guitars online...
It's a shame that lefties get charged 10 to 20 percent more for the same guitar than right handed people do.
Left handed guitars, check.
Left handed Ibanez, ahh, no.
both my guitars are lefty and theyre both ibanez lol.
Check out the ae145nt l
My guitarrista an Ibanez
My first one was an ibanez.
Where are the mustangs
That's cool that you have a lot of lefties. But you guy's are not close. It would be cool to get a guitar from you guy's. But shipping from the U.K. to the U.S. can be costly.
Heard there is a full lefty shop in Texas. Might be worth trying, lad
NotSèeD MortDeRire southpaw guitars I think is what it’s called
@@ZmeyYuri in Houston,if I remember .......
I would happily shop at your store if it weren't on the other side of the Atlantic. Thanks for looking out for us weirdos. 👍👍👏👏
Any time!
Guitar Center is a complete joke when it comes to left handed guitars. I'm a lefty and they never stock cheap for me
I agree. G.C. nationwide only has 1 Strat and 1 Tele at each store. You really have to know what's available lefty and research it before ordering
The one in Harrisburg in PA tries to supply as many lefties as possible
I found a blue Stratocaster lefty electric guitar hero on guitar center but I agree with you, it is hard
Abstract Kitty I walked into guitar center today and asked if they sale left handed guitars and right as I said that someone bought the last one they had in stock... How?!? I thought I’d be the only left handed player in there
ZDeezy I know, it sucks
You're going to make me cry. I feel loved
Hell yeah… every f’n time I walk into a guitar store wonderful guitars cant play any of them… thanks for the video!
I’m naturally right handed but I’m training myself to play left handed. First time I picked up a guitar and started playing it was my friends and he’s left handed. I really must say that when you’re predominantly right handed....training yourself to use the left side of your body is really a struggle cus then you got make your body get used to using the other side which is such a challenge. But it’s fun. I tried playing right handed a couple times but my right fingers dont seem to stretch out as far as my left fingers and I’ve also realized I have better grip and movement in my left hand than my right. Idk if this makes sense to anyone but it seems to me that with me playing left handed it’s just more naturally convenient.
I am also right-handed but I bought a left-handed guitar. It feels so much easier and better.
Sheesh I wish you guys were in the States. We need more stores that cater to left-handed guitarists. Great video!
As being a left handed guitarist for over 50 years I'm so sick of Black,Brown and White guitars! We need colors and variety
Finally someone cares😭
Can't forget about the lefties!
my daughter left handed and she loved playing the guitar
I’m considering a class action lawsuit to make ALL guitar companies make ALL there guitars available in left handed models as well.
WOW!!!
You have a lot of beautiful LEFTIES.
Thank you.
✌🏽❤️🙂💪🏽🙏🏽
Lefties deserve love too!
Wow I am a lefty but an old beginner never really got into thinking of learning of playing until retirement and seeing and listening to the greats to old to make a difference only over the years I have learned to sing its all practice so its all new to me I don't expect much development In playing it takes years for some and being young you have time to improve but I Have a desire to learn I think I am a better singer now than a future guitar player.
Im about to head out to the UK after this covid stuff, just to get a guitar
Like your style my friend, hope to see you in one of our stores soon! 😀
Houston has a lefty store Called Southpaw Guitars look up their website
The REAL satisfying video on UA-cam for solely left handed guitarists
Our guitar center used to call it “Lefty Land” and it was small shitty wall space for maybe 3-4 guitars. Half of which were used trade-ins. 😂
Customer: Can you advise me which guitar I should buy .
Advisor : The one that plays itself BOM BOM !
I really do say that .
(new JAMES BOND theme song coming early 2022 !)
"LIVING PAST ANOTHER DAY!"
I am a lefty but because it’s hard to find a lefty guitar, I was forced to learned Right Handedly the picking part would be challenging at first but you’ll get used to it thru practice.
Look, I don't know what the hell is wrong with you people, but even basic guitar manuals state that you go by the fret hand, hence making the standard that everybody calls the right handed model, in all actuality, the left and vice versa. The low E string is the bottom string, and most would be guitarists refer to it as the top. Everything is backwards. The guitars that are marketed for 'lefties' are actually right handed guitars. I should not have to explain this to you folks, and I don't. Just felt like it.
I bet if Jimmy Hendrix was still alive today he would have a Lefty Store too.
Lol.. in background all the guitars are righty.. and wait.. where are left handed bass!!
As a lefty there’s something really beautiful about lefty guitars
Seriously though, nice stock list 🙏🏻
Glad you liked it! Gotta look after our southpaws!
I've bought four leftie guitars from you guys and there's a fifth pre-ordered. Shops like yours are a Godsend for us lefties. I start a new job soon which is a quick walk away from your Camden store.... my wallet and my wife despair...
I'm a Lefty and have just started taking lessons. I've been taking lessons for about two months and coming along pretty good. I have made a promise to myself. If I'm still playing and still getting into it one year from the day I started taking lessons. I'm going to your store and buy two lefthanded guitars. I gonna get an acoustic and a good top of the line electric guitar. I live North Mobile, Alabama, so I have so far to drive buying two of what I want would be the best thing to do. I think it's GREAT what you all are doing, by not putting us lefties on the back burner. I will see ya'll in about 10 months.
Sincerely
Mike Walters
I am really struggling to decide what hand to play with, I am a lefty but I'm ambidextrous in some areas like most of us have to be. I played right handed for a year or so in my teens and have just bought my first lefty almost 10 years later. I can still play a few songs and chords on my old guitar but i'm hopeless with my new lefty. should I keep going with the lefty or go back to the righty that I started with?
It's all really about what's comfortable for you my friend. Did you have any problems or issues playing a righty in your teens? If you were successful with that, I would consider going back to if. If it were more comfortable and easier than it is now, then going back to a righty might be your best bet!
F#cking genius!
As a beginner guitarist who also happens to be left handed, I bought a starter pack with a left handed guitar. Then, I learned that most left handed guitars are stupidly more expensive than right handed guitars, that if I wanted to play on a signature guitar (which I very, VERY much want to), I would need to get a right handed guitar, and that many left handed people actually play guitar right handed, which is why I've decided to learn to play right handed.
However, my personal experience and thoughts aside, I really appreciate that there are at least shops, somewhere on this planet, that cater to us lefties. If only signature guitars came with both flavours...
So my initial thoughts were:
Im wanting to learn the guitar.
Im left handed
Ive held my sisters guitar LH and RH
Both feel quite the same.
Id prefer for my left hand to do both strumming and chords.
And I also prefer for my face to look to the left.
Yet id prefer for my RH to play chords
Because I feel like my RH wont have the rhythm my left hand has.
I feel like i should go with RH guitar because it’s probably a safer option and i can always switch.
My opinion now:
After someone brought up the air guitar thing
I always play it LH and i’ve never realised that.
So I’m just going with my gut and buy a left handed guitar. If in a year time i feel like im struggling i can always switch to RH.
I gotta say i do feel like a guitar should be played righthanded but maybe its because im used to seeing that
I alternate between activities, like when I write I use my left hand, and for sports I use my right hand. That causes a problem as I couldn’t decide which to use, and would appreciate some guidance
I like to say I’m ambidextrous but it’s weird
I hope you guys are still going strong. Cheers from Austin Tx. !!! :D
Do you ship to Brazil?
Where is this particular shop? you mention other branches
This is our Epsom store. We have stores in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Birmingham, Epsom and Camden!
I'm lefty too.. i just need the body for left but strings & pickups still normal like right hand..
Amazing selection!
That acoustic Taylor was AWESOME!
This video is emotional for left handed players like me
I wish you had a store close to me! 🤗
Maybe one day! Are we worthy of a road trip??
Haha perhaps when the pandemic ends. ❤️
Well this is 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Thanks for that
No worries!
I write my right hand, but play with my left hand, I absolutely do not know why.
😂 When something just feels right, you don't even need to question it!
Now we have to worry 'bout the price..
Seriously. The lefty guitars I see at the stores are either extremely expensive (I saw a strat for 6 grand)
I went into a store in New Jersey years ago and they had like 9 lefty guitars there and I about lost my shit, if I saw a store with ¼ of this selection I think I'd fall out from shock
WAHT THIS PLACE US HEAVEN.
guitar guitar are the best for lefties in Britain I would say
Cheers Simon 🙌
Just bought a really, really great Rickenbacker 360/12 LH from this store online. And I have bought many others over the years. A really great shop that I trust and recommend . Guitar guitar is the best for the left-hander. Actually, if anyone who works for the store in Glasgow is reading, My Rickenbacker is an amazing instrument to play. Cost a lot, but well worth the money. Cheers, guys.
Amazing, cheers my friend. Always gotta look out for our south paws 😝👏
I’m just gonna go on a rant and say that I’m moving to live in that store.
I thought to myself "Lol, well played guys." Then I clicked the site, went tro the left handfed bass section and nearly fell out of my FLIPPING seat! WTF you guys! Well played indeed!
Gotta look after our letfies! 😎
im a right handed person and im used to seeing myself playing with my left hand, the intro is a already a false advertisement XD
😂
My wife bought me an Alvarez classical acoustic..I love it..best therapist ever 🤘🏼😎
Quite a lot of our staff have Alvarez too. They are awesome :)
I came to guitar guitar Epsom the other day and they lived up to their promise and I played a beautiful esp ltd. excellent stuff guitarguitar!
Amazing to hear. The lads down in Epsom are a great bunch.
Me drooling,....
Wow! What an inventory! That makes me happy.
Sadly only one that I saw with a Floyd...though you have my attention if you managed to snag a lefty DBZ Bird of Prey.
I don't have a guitar, but I do play air guitar. However, I can't play righty. My left hand is too slow to play anything faster than Iron Man lol
as a lefty seeing all these left handed guitars is quite satisfying
But do you have any left handed guitars?
We do indeed! We have a whole selection of lefties instore and online! gtrgtr.uk/Left-handed-guitars
We have a lefty store in belgium
Whenever I ask for the left hand guitar section they point to the EXIT sign -
I'm right handed except for a very few things - shooting pool , rifle and playing guitar - lucky me
I love this but theres no mustangs
Our stock is always updated! Always worth checking in 🙂
I bought my first guitar a couple weeks ago for 90 euro. I'm a lefty, not great, but, I have to learn the basics first. When I asked the guy in the shop "any left hand guitars" he looked at me like I had 10 heads 😂
😂😂
Hey buddy I'm Lefty & I Love Your Guitar Collection ✌️😍💐
Can You Sand Guitars to India🙄???
Ikr :( I can’t seem to find any 😔
We want this in India!
You think it's bad for you? Try being a left handed bass player! There MIGHT be a $149.00 Ibanez lefty, in black, with a neck that is for kids only in the local big box store. Kudos for having that inventory! But where's the basses?
Well, I watched the entire video. I was hoping for an IMPORTANT MESSAGE. Never heard one.
I love playing the guitar left handed. Beautiful selections. You are from England, Right? I am from United States. I love you video.
Wow you didn’t try to convince me that i AcTuAlLy HaVe An AdVanTaGe aS a lEfT hAnDeD pLaYeR oN rIgHt HaNdED gUiTaRs?? So what time do you open tomorrow? 😅
Be careful what you wish for. The Guitars shown are not all in stock in each GuitarGuitar shop. I'm trying to buy a high end acoustic, and each store seems to hold about four LH guitars of the type I'm looking for. If you want to try a guitar that's not in the shop you need to pay a refundable 10% deposit. I love GuitarGuitar and they have been very helpful, but I guess you just have to be realistic. They can't hold enormous stocks of LH guitars in each shop. Having said that, they do hold larger stocks of LH guitars than anyone else in the UK.
Marketing brainwashed ppl to think just because you pick up a pen with your left hand means you have to commit to a reversed guitar for the rest of your life. Just start on a normal guitar. Thank me later :)
evert time i watch ui howl my socks off.apoliy typo 83 and bl00dy parkires..........cheers,,,,,,h6
I have 15 lefty guitars, collected over 56 years. Trying to sell some of them, although shipping from here (Germany) can be tricky.
If I hear one more person say they're Left Handed but play right, I'll spew up. YOU ARE NOT LEFT HANDED IF YOU PLAY RIGHT, Right? Even if you write left handed, you play guitar right, so you're a right handed guitarist. Just Stop. You have zero idea of our plight, just let us have it to ourselves. Unless you Identify Left, then OK.
Have to say a way better range than Anderton’s who have a fair few lefties but only a few actually displayed in the shop.
I'm crying from the inside ._. my dream to own a left-handed guitar
all that I have is flipped acoustic guitar and I wish to have an electric guitar
I am also a lefty. I really want to learn to play electric guitar before my age will not allow me to play. I am 53 now. My issue is in Canada left handed electric guitar are so damn expensive if you can find them. I have just about given up on my dream to play electric guitar. In 2013 I was in a work accident that left me on permanent disability. I have not worked since 2016 and my medical team will not allow me back to work. So being on disability I only make $940.00 canadian per month so that wipes out and chance of me affording a guitar. it really takes me into a dark mood at times. I thought learning to play may help with that. I wanted something that couls have been upgraded with my experience level. You have some sweet looking guitars. I think the Fender Strats are a really nice sounding guitars. i really wish there was a manufacture that could help bring my dreams into a fruition.
Most lefthanded guitars are brown en black and white and VERY HEAVY. CHallenge : Find me a beautiful lefhanded (super)strat under 3 kilos that sounds good!
