Fellow lefty's and the not so left might be interested to know that Elizabeth Cotten played a right handed guitar left handed. You Tube "Elizabeth Cotten Washington Blues" for a demo. I couldn't figure out what chords she was playing till I noticed…
Greetings from a relative newbie - I imagine how easily a person can switch hands with a guitar depends upon their degree of being ambidexterous. Considering how many people (myself included) fail to fulfill their guitar playing desires, it might be…

I am married. Meeting there might be possible, depending on the day. Work keeps me busy, but I get time off for good behavior. Let me know when you're going and we'll see if we can make it work.
Yes, I'm left handed, but started learning right handed, back in high school - the guitar I used to own was a right hand guitar...always wanted one that was made from the start for left hand play...I like the old rockabilly tunes, such as Patsy Cline, Roy Clark, etc - probably would like to flatpick and do some bluegrass stuff, as well as some of the older country tunes...love all of Loretta Lynns old stuff, Crystal Gayle, etc...
Hi,
Thanks for the offer - it's a bit more than I'm interested in spending right now, and I am thinking I prefer a more 'traditional' look, regarding the sound hole...but, I will see if there is a review of the guitar on the web, and listen to it being played, if possible, as I wouldn't totally rule it out...!
