Lefthanded models to start

Bas · February 2009

Hello everybody - I start playing Gypsy Jazz and are searching for a guitar to start...'unfortunately' I am lefthanded and that limits the possibilities on standard starting models. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanx!

Bas.

Gitane make absolutely nothing, most the lefties i know went for Manouche guitars

I went straight for a Dupont myself

I know you can get these cheap Cordobas

but they are not particularly liked

Figuring, if i'm gonna spend a grand on a factory guitar, i should be able to get a hand made one for not that much more. Just expect a wait...

As mentioned above, a Coroba is your only option below $1K. And those are not being made any longer so you'll have to grab one soon before they're gone.

Dupont will make one at no extra charge (he's a lefty himself). A lefty MD-100 would be $3000K. I can order one if you'd like.

Thank you for the reply's! The Manouche Modele Jazz guitar would be financial the limit for me (I have to lend the money from my parents...) I live in Amsterdam and went to 'Palm guitars'. There I heart that Patenotte also makes lefthanded models (for some extra money). Would that be a option?
