Left-Handed Guitars
For anyone looking for a left handed classical guitar, I have summarised here those which are available from two of the makers we represent, Alhambra and Liikanen/Kantare. It is often possible to order smaller-sized versions which are also set up for the left-handed player.
Both Alhambra and Liikanen make left-handed versions of many instruments in their standard classical guitar range and further information can be found under the entries on this site for the standard models. These are top quality guitars, hand-built to the highest standards in both cases. The left-handed versions carry a small price premium over the more common right-handed versions.
It is generally necessary to place a special order for left-handed versions but the delivery time is usually quite quick. Please call for more information.
