While left handed instruments used to be harder to come by, many of the classic guitar manufacturers have realized there is a demand from left handed guitarists that feel more comfortable and are better skilled at left hand guitars, than traditional right handed ones. It used to be that right handed guitars would be adapted for use, or guitarists had to transpose chords to play left handed, but that is no longer the case.

When it comes to sound quality in an A/E instrument, nobody does it like Takamine. Now Takamine has taken the lefthand guitar to heart with the ETN10-C-LH acoustic electric lefthand guitar. With all the features added here, a lefthand guitar never sounded so good.

The instrument starts out with solid Sapeli Mahogany back and sides and a solid cedar top. All the wood has been kept natural for maximum vibration and sound transference. Even the pick guard has been left off to maximize the sound quality. Actually, Takamine has taken care not to impede ANY sound vibration by keeping the entire top decoration free.

The tones derived from the natural approach are absolutely amazing. The higher registers ring rich and the lower ones stay firm and clear. This is probably afforded to the use of mahogany for the neck overlaid with quality Indian Rosewood. Then there's the dual saddle over that same Indian Rosewood bridge. On the body, the rosette is natural wood and even the dot inlays on the neck are maple wood.

Electronics have not been overlooked and this Takamine lefthand beast is equipped with their patented CT4B electronics. Exceptional value here, folks. The electronics are massive and include an easily accessible battery compartment, a three band EQ for complete tone control, a volume slider control and a built in chromatic tuner with an LED display.

The CT4B console allows you to craft your tone ion the fly, tune between songs if needed and possibly change a battery. All this can be done in the dark with the LED display there. If you need a little more punch on a solo or bridge, just use the volume slider and you're there.

All of this is available in Takamine's ETN natural series, but none have the tonal quality of the ETN10-C-LH. As a lefthanded electric guitar, it can accept effects and growl with the best of them. As a lefthanded acoustic instrument, the sound is sweet and clear. Basically, this is one quality lefthand guitar all around.

For a body style, Takamine has made this a standard dreadnought design with a single cutaway. Oriented for lefthand players, this cutaway gives access to the higher registers easily. The dreadnought is the most widely used body style among acoustic guitars. Now it is available as a lefthand guitar as well.

Chrome tuners round out the look and keep it natural. Now those chrome tuners work in conjunction with the rosewood bridge and dual saddle to create a good bit of sustain. Inside the body, the bracing is scalloped and helps resonate the sound outward with no buzzing or unwanted vibration.

Also each ETN10-C comes with a hard shell case to keep it beautiful and protected.

As I played this instrument, I was struck by it's ability to remain soft and sweet as an acoustic, then get as crunchy as any solid body electric. In conclusion, as an acoustic lefthand guitar, this is a standout as well as a terrific value. As a lefthanded electric guitar, the possibilities are endless.

Takamine ETN-10C-LH – When the best is required, this is one of the best in acoustic/electric lefthand guitars.

In the past, left hand electric guitar players had to settle on a standard guitar. This would need to be flipped over, the strings reversed, and the tuning keys oriented accordingly. While this works, most guitars are made to look a certain way and if you flip it over, it appears upside down and backwards.

Thanks to the people who have come up with the idea of  guitars made for left handed people, its no longer a problem for left handed electric guitar players. Now you can shop a wide selection of left handed electric guitars and have the instrument of your dreams. Stand warned-the selection can be great and the price range is varied. Let's look at a few.

Les Paul Special II

Like the Epiphone Les Paul Special II in a Heritage Sunburst finish. First, this is a beautiful left handed electric guitar resembling the trademark Cherry Burst by Gibson. Sound is passed through two double coil humbuckers pickups as well as single master tone and volume controls. The only difference is the placement of the three position pick up switch.

This happens to be my guitar of choice. I have used it for many years both in studio and in live performance. The LP Special II has never let me down and can growl like a bear or purr like a kitten. Does it all and more -  at a price that even I could afford outright.

Both these LP's are made by Epiphone which is a subsidiary of Gibson. Mine has a standard Gibson LP neck.

Les Paul

Then there is the Les Paul EVO in the Tiger Eye finish by Dean. At a price that is a bit higher than the LPs from Epiphone, Dean makes a fantastic left handed electric guitar. Equipped with a mahogany neck for fabulous sustain, Grover tuners and Dean's own Zebra pickups, this is one of the hottest left handed electric guitars I have seen. It sounds great, takes you where you want to go and looks beautiful on stage.

When you think or talk about electric guitars, the Les Paul left hand guitar usually comes to mind right away. The Les Paul guitar lefty body style is the most recognized one in the music industry. It is a versatile and widely used guitar with many configurations and models to select from. Les Paul left hand guitars are a thing of beauty.

The Les Paul is named after the man who invented the electric guitar in 1941. That first guitar was called “the log” and was extremely crude, but was the first amplified guitar anywhere.  Eleven years later, in 1952, the Gibson Guitar company began building the Les Paul guitar and music was changed forever.

When Mr. Paul designed that first guitar, he was only 13 years old. By the following year, 1929, he was playing a working model of the electric guitar. He continued working on the design for the next few years until Gibson picked it up and began production in 1952.

Over the years, many guitar manufacturers have produced guitars in the Les Paul body style. Of course, there has always been a need for quality left hand guitars and so the Les Paul left hand guitar was a natural progression. Guitar lefty players now had a guitar available to them that sounded good, looked good and had great stage presence.

The Les Paul left hand guitar is one of many that are offered at the site, but are extremely popular. This is primarily due to the versatility of the Les Paul left hand guitar. The LP is used in a wide variety of genres including country, rock, metal, blues and jazz. The controls on the Les Paul give the musician an unbelievable range of control over the tone of the instrument.

Les Paul left guitars are made in all types of material like mahogany, maple or basswood. There are bolt on neck types and neck-through designs as well. Fret boards can be maple, mahogany, rosewood or any of a number of other materials.

Les Paul left hand guitars can be found with two or three pickups. Most use dual coil humbuckers, but some have been built with other combinations. A tremolo bar is another possibility that can be added for further versatility, especially to the guitar lefty players out there.

The Les Paul left guitar will also have a three position pick up selector on the top. There are two sets of volume/tone controls that operate the neck and bridge pickups. If there is a center pick up, it is wired in series with the neck pickup and runs hot.

Among guitar lefty players, the Les Paul left hand guitar is a dream come true. Whatever style of music you play, whether  professional or just playing leisurely the Les Paul is the right one for you.

The Epiphone guitar Company was founded in 1873 by Greek luthier Anastasios Stathopoulos. He manufactured guitars for a while before succumbing to economic pressures during World War 2. At that time, Gibson was able to simply acquire the fledgling company. To this day, Gibson still manufactures instruments under the Epiphone name.

Epiphone and Gibson

Prior to the acquisition by Gibson, Epiphone left and right guitars were a rival to Gibson. The sound quality was magnificent, the materials were the same and the electronics were just as superior. If Epiphone had not been absorbed by Gibson, I am sure the company would have either rivaled or bypassed Gibson eventually.

When it comes to a guitar lefty, a good instrument can be hard to find. Epiphone left hand guitars are every bit as good as a Gibson, only more affordable in many cases. It is important for the controls and knobs to be oriented the same for a right hand guitar. Epiphone left hand instruments provide this detail nicely. No longer do left hand players need to use a right hand guitar with the strings and bridge reversed and the controls backwards.

Epiphone Casino Hollow Body

One of the most famous Epiphone left hand guitars is the left handed Casino hollow body. This beauty looks like a Gretsch and was responsible for the Beatles famous sound in the 1960's. The Beatles bought three Casinos and used them to record and play live shows as they toured. Obviously, the Epiphone left hand guitar was good enough for Paul McCartney.

Another well known Epiphone left hand guitar is the Epiphone LP left hand. I personally own an Epiphone Les Paul left  and it is a pleasure to play live and in studio. I have used it for blues, jazz and even classical tracks at times. In addition, I can crank the volume on the pickups and jam with the metal heads.

All in all, Epiphone left hand guitars are an investment that can be trusted. There are web sites that focus on guitar lefty players. One such site is lefthanddguitarmall. These folks know left hand guitars and Epiphone left instruments especially. The site has a selection of instruments available and there is always someone there to answer questions or concerns you may have.

So if you are looking for an Epiphone left hand guitar, get on over to lefthandedguitarmall as soon as possible. You will not find a more guitar lefty focused site anywhere and they really care about left hand players finding the right guitar. An Epiphone left hand guitar is the way to start off that career, especially for those on a budget and can't quite afford that Gold Top LP just yet. Epiphone means quality and quality means a happy player.

The XT-2-L is probably one of the easiest basses to travel with for any guitar lefty. The overall length is only 38 ½” so it fits in a lot of places other larger bass guitars will not. But don’t let that small stature fool you. The neck has a 34” scale length with 24 standard bass frets. A super slim 14” neck radius makes it a dream to play.

What really makes this left bass guitar noticeable is the design and how it looks. For starters, there is no headstock. That headless neck is a trademark of Steinberger and believe me, it works on this model as it does on all the XL series basses. The tuning keys are at the bottom, so the strings run opposite of all standard instruments. The tuners are part of the bridge and feature a 40:1 turn ratio.

The pickups are EMG Select Humbuckers at the bridge and neck positions. These pickups are passive, so they are dependent on the player to tell them what to do, which leads us to the controls on the left bass guitar. Each pickup has its own volume control knob plus there is a master tone as well. The result is a myriad of tone possibilities and stylish sounds.

The entire left bass guitar is made of maple, but the construction is something you have to know about. The neck is constructed of three pieces of maple with the center piece running through the body, giving the guitar lefty player a neck through experience. The body is also a three piece construction with no seams visible.

Because of the way the Spirit is built, the vibration of the strings runs all the way through the left bass guitar and creates a super sustainability and more resonance than I am used to seeing in guitars of this price range. Any guitar lefty will do well to grab one of these left basses.

The maple neck is overlaid with rosewood and is absolutely silky to the touch and fast on the action. With the 4 bass strings reverse strung, the basic tone of the instrument is extraordinary. If you are looking for versatility and a way to look good while sounding excellent, this is the guitar lefty’s wet dream.

As with all guitar and bass players, especially left bass players, stage presence is an important aspect. The Steinberger headless neck and the aerodynamic looking body design deliver that almighty charisma. When you step out with this left bass guitar strapped on, the audience will take notice. This brings the audience into your mojo, guys and girls.

I think you’ll stop at this one, though, because I did – you’ll find the Steinberger XT-2-L left bass guitar awesome.

Takamine’s EG340C has exceptional sound quality as an acoustic left hand instrument. This comes mainly from the materials used in construction. This versatile guitar’s body has sides and back of mahogany with a solid spruce top. That alone makes this a great choice for acoustic left hand players, but the quality goes further.

General features

The neck is also mahogany laid over with rosewood and 24 jumbo acoustic frets. The resulting effect is a rich tone with a quick, easy action unseen in many acoustic left hand instruments. Also, the neck joins the body at about the 15th fret, so there is a great amount of sound transmitted to the sound hole from the neck directly.

Around the sound hole is a rosette design of abalone that matches the dot inlays on the fret board. Single dot inlays at the third, fifth, seventh and tenth frets are standard in the industry. Standard double dot inlays at octave points keep you aware of where you are on the neck.

As an acoustic instrument

The dreadnought style body has a deeper resonance chamber than most guitars in it’s class. This provides more acoustic volume with a deep bass response as well. As a performance instrument, this one stands out from the crowd for accompaniment.  The body has a single cutaway that allows access to the upper registers of the fret board.

The EG340C can stand alone in a performance setting as an accompaniment guitar or as a folk style one man show style of performance. The volume produced by this guitar guarantees you will be heard in any venue.

As an electric instrument

To the electric guitar left hand player, this baby shines, too. With Takamine’s own TP4T pre-amp electronics, it goes into larger venues and can be electrified for even more versatility. The sound is routed through the electronics which are all cloaked inside the body. The exception is the control panel on the side of the body facing the player.

This small control panel features an equalizer as well for complete tone control. Now this electric guitar left the others behind in its wake. When the pre-amp electronics are utilized, the guitar retains its acoustic sound nicely, but effects can be added in a daisy chain configuration for added dimensions.

The result is an electric guitar left handed players can use full time without the need to switch in mid-stream. The ¼” standard patch cord plugs into the strap nut on the bottom, so there aren’t any unsightly borings to mar the aesthetics.

So in conclusion here, the Takamine EG340C acoustic/electric guitar left hand is versatile, pretty and completely a left hand player’s dream instrument.  For the price, this is one exceptional value, even if you are on a budget. You really will not see a better mahogany construction electric guitar left hand anywhere. Get yours now right here and rule the left hand guitar world acoustically and electrically.

Now a Les Paul Custom is the top of the line, state of the art piece of musical equipment and is played by numerous notable professionals. There is a reason for that and this article will explain the superior quality in this model of Les Paul left hand instrument.

First, there are the materials involved, which are nothing short of magnificent. The body of the Custom LP is either solid Mahogany or Mahogany with a carved Maple top. The neck is constructed of Mahogany as well, but the major player on this axe is the fret board.

Made of Ebony

The fret board is made of the purest Ebony you have ever seen. Between the Mahogany body/neck and the Ebony fret board, the resonance and sustain provided by this Gibson left handed instrument is just overwhelming. The guitar takes its name from that Ebony fret board as well as the deep, black gloss finish. It actually LOOKS like a piece of Ebony as you hold it.

The neck joint is a set joint style and that is significant in the world of guitar construction. As opposed to a bolt on that allows for some measure of vibration, a set joint neck is actually inserted into the body and clamped in place, then bolted down for security. The result is your tone flowing from the neck down through the body like a running river. This is signature tone, even in a Les Paul left handed guitar.

Another very different part of the Custom Les Paul left hand guitar is that the neck joins the body at the 16th fret. There is a cut away on the underside of the neck so you have easy access to frets 16 through 22. Speaking of frets, the one on the Les Paul left are uncharacteristically low and flat as the usual medium jumbos normally installed on Custom LP's.

As the sound hits the body, it is picked up by the Humbucker pickups of which there can be two or three. If it has two, they are at neck and bridge positions; with three, you get neck/middle/bridge positioned pickups. Originally, the pickups were P90s, but the Humbucker smoothed out the tone and made it creamy and glass like.

Tie set of super light strings onto this Gibson left handed guitar and you are on your way to a sonic nirvana. The Custom Les Paul left handed guitar is a bit heavy, but that’s due to the materials used. Mahogany and Ebony are dense woods and they carry some weight. The bright side is that all that wood makes for extra sound transference.

You can expect to pay a bit more for any Gibson left handed guitar or a Les Paul left hand instrument, but the money is well invested. The tone is phenomenal, the feel is great and the playability is unequaled anywhere.
