Have you noticed the increasing number of left-handed guitarists lately? Unfortunately, it can be quite challenging to find left-handed guitars in regular guitar stores. However, today, left-handed guitarists no longer have to settle for improvising on standard guitars. The lefty guitar market offers a variety of models and types specifically designed for left-handed players.

Approximately 10% of the population is left-handed, and many of them possess great talent and intelligence. In the past, many left-handed guitarists had to adapt to playing on standard guitars, but this often required modifications such as changing the guitar strings and adjusting the tuning keys.

Individuals with a dominant left hand can now choose from a wide selection of guitars designed specifically for strumming with their left hand and fingers.
