Is it harder for a left hand to play with a right hand guitar

[Basel]

I can't find a left hand guitar for the SG i want and if i switch the strings it will look very weird because the knobs will be at the top. so i wanted to know would it be harder if i learned guitar on a right hand guitar because i don't want to spend $665 dollars on a right handed guitar and then give up because i cant play with it.

 

Thank you[biggrin]

I know you're in Egypt, and I don't know how shipping would work, but if you really want a lefty try these:

http://www.southpawguitars.com/gibson.html specializes in left-handed instruments. I have a good friend who is left-handed and learned to play left-handed "without" switching the strings around. He is one of the finest guitarists I have ever known.

I have read that left handed people could chord and play better on a right handed guitar because of the better use of their left hand on the strings.

I'm left handed but play right handed. Yeah, bet you would of never of guessed it.

Hi

My '63 SG Standard is for sale. See it in the avatar there? I bought it from Beeb Birtles of the Little River Band in the early 80s. Like I say, it's for sale now, so if you want to feel a real lefty from the era of the Gods, contact me for info. I'm NOT a dealer.

My Epihone SG G400 is left handed. It definitely is hard to find them depending on where you live. My town has a pawn shop, and that's the closest thing to a guitar shop around here. I ordered my guitar off of either guitar center or musiciansfriend, can't remember. I've tried flipping my squier strat, and i just didn't like the feel of it. Don't give up on the search, left handed models are out there.

I'm lefty & play righty. I started playing lefty & early on switched. My theory was it's easir to play friends guitars. I swing a baseball bat & golf club righty & everything else lefty.

Just get a right handed guitar. Im a Lefty but I play a normal righty SG... Kinda gives you an advantage over rightys as you have better co-ordination if your fretting hand (kinda harder to do tremelo and stuff though, but you always need to fret strings, but tremelo is jsut an option)
