flyingv09 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Is this available in a left hand model? Guitar Ctr has it for 169.00 which seems affordable. If not, in order to make a right hand model into a lefty, will I need to replace the nut? Or just reverse the strings? Thanx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a used lefty G-400 would be a better buy than that guitar; higher quality components and a set neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingv09 Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Does the G-400 have a thin neck? I see one on e-bay for 349.00 'Mint' w/a case. I'm just starting out and I like the idea of a thin neck for ease of learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotcanX Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 The G-310 is also available as a lefty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelake07 Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Both the SG Special and the G-400 have a Nut Width of 1.68", a width that is common to many of Epiphone's electric guitars. If you have a chance to try one at a local music store you can judge the thickness for yourself. The Epiphone G-310 has a bolt-on neck like Fender and the G-400 has a set-in neck like Gibson. Ibanez has some guitars with very thin necks if that is something you really want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the skinny neck of my G400 more difficult (at first) because it makes it seem like the strings are closer together. (Compared to either of my LPs) So for me, the LP is easier to play/learn than the G400. IMHO, YMMV, and all the other standard disclaimers. :) As a fellow lefty, I empathize; finding a LH guitar is difficult enough, but I will recommend not getting the cheapest one you can find. I spent way more than I intended on my first guitar. I too was looking sub 200, ended up at just over 500. Over time, I came to realize I had a much better instrument than the low end I started looking for (but could not find). AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
