Guitar SXjan-1

englishjanet

Hi being a leftie there isn't much choice in GJ guitars I own a beautiful Eimers guitar but need a cheaper guitar to use when away from home.. Saw the SXjan-1 on ebay and on various sites and they do a leftie. Does anyone know if they are any good? I used to have a richwood but it was rubbish!
Thanks Janet

Janet the SX is rubbish. Its not even close to a gitane. The case is nice though. I dont believe that you will find any joy in playing it.

Agreed. Constantine is correct.
I think that all of the cheap guitars capable of any joy at all are sold on this site, and they're cheaper here than anywhere else minus the occasional steal from a private party. Like so many others, I've used a lot of petrol running around looking for a "great" cheap guitar. I believe there are none.
There are good values though, but Djangobooks has those guitars.
I'm not really recommending you buy from here, rather that in the cheap guitar department that you use the selection from the store here as a guide to the relative value of "value" oriented guitars, because the alternative cheap guitars (like the 100's on ebuy) have no value at all.

Here's some leftie guitars. I just went to the Asian made part of the store and found:

There are probably others, but I just put "left" in the search box on the upper right once I was "in the store" (on store page) and that's what came up.

I don't know if they make a lefty Altamira, but they're quite decent and would make an excellent second guitar.
