lefty in search of guitar...

Unread post by ryopan » Wed Apr 09, 2003 1:37 am

hey folks. whats goin on. ok, im about to go nuts. im making a little trip to austin to see my bro but i think im making a few trips to guitar stores as well. i know what i want (cutaway, wide & fast neck, pickup)but i am just having trouble finding it(cuz of the southpaw). id love to pick up a few guitars and see how they feel to help decide which will be THE guitar for me but that upside down guitar sample that i always get does not do me any good really. i have thought about getting something off the internet but id really like to try something out and compare a few brands before i fork over some dough. do any of you have any pearls of wisdom. also, any lefties with similar experience & tips? 8)

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": I'm thinking about getting metal legs. It's a risky operation, but it'll be worth it.

carvin makes ok guitars... and theyre easier to get left handed because theyre custom and they cost no more than right handed.. theyre not as good as normal acoustics though
