According to Gibson anyway, here’s a list of popular left-handed guitarists.
Some you’ll know instantly, some you might recognize, some will be a complete mystery. Quite frankly, I don’t know how a certain dead one made it to the list with the description ’superb guitarist.’ Even his fans will tell you he wasn’t.
Also interesting to note […]
Since it’s been a while and since I’m a glutton for punishment and since I don’t often get to go into guitar stores with another lefty for pure entertainment, I managed to get by tonight. I heard all sorts of radio spots and even got a flyer for Guitar Center’s Strat Demo Days. The apparent […]
I did.
Details to follow.
Suffice it to say that it was a well-worn 1958 left-handed Fender Stratocaster. I may never be the same again.
Stay tuned for the report on the Philly Guitar Show. With left-handed picture goodness.
No I’m not.
I just feel so isolated out here… maybe if I put iphone in the title, I’ll feel more welcome. I’ll fit in better. Then I can start talking up Vista!
Ok, I’ll stop.
Let me think about the top tech acquisitions for the near (and far) future.
Well, some nice soul recently gave me […]
At $6500, it’s a bit steep. No info on whether it comes lefty or not, but at $6500, who cares?
Moog has always been a niche mfgr. They’re going to stay that way at this price point, even if the guitar plays itself, allowing you to just stand there and look good.
Guitar players are, […]
Guitar Center just sent me an email on this outlet concept.
Ymmv - wouldn’t exactly call these killer deals but maybe a smart shopper will find something.
Not a single lefty to be found but there are quite a few available on the non-outlet search. Most amusing is that a TON of lefties can be found in […]
I promised the last post wasn’t a GC rant and I kept my promise. It merely took place in the parking lot of GC.
Once we were inside GC, all bets were off.
One thing we noticed in the door was that there were two women behind the effects counter. This is unprecedented in the […]
I’m a hardcore guitar player. I love the guitar like nothing else. My music lists tend to reflect this but lately as I get old(er), there are other things creeping in. Things with no guitar solos or guitar heroes playing.
I’ve always had a weak spot for certain vocalists. I successfully covered […]
As well all know, I enjoy pain. With that in mind, I went once again to Guitar Center.
What always interests me is the quantity of lefty guitars in stock at various stores. They had their usual Chinese/Korean selection, as well as a new Fender or two. Btw, the new Fenders suck ever more than the […]
I have some special friends visiting from out of town, so it’s time for celebration and much mirth. In spite of that, we decided to make a pit stop at Guitar Center.
I should mention at this point that one of my friends shares my Southpaw Syndrome. We were wondering what would happen if […]
