Left Handed Guitar player

markjam83 · 27th April 2010, 09:38 AM

Hello Friends... I'm new here and have a lot to learn about guitars. I was hoping for some advise.

What I would like to do it buy a used Standard spruce top Taylor T5. Then I would like to acquire a LR Baggs piezo pickup and have it installed on the T5.Rogue LX200BL Series II Left-Handed Bass

Would that work? Do you have any other suggestions? Just to make things a bit more complicated I'm left handed. So if someone knows where I can get a used left handed Taylor T5 I would be grateful.

Hello and welcome to the forums. You might wish to ask this question over in the musical instruments rather than here in the introduction area.

Hello!

I used to make guitars, and my partner was a left-handed player, so I understand your frustration VERY well.

As to a used bass, the best place in the US is a store called the Bass Place in (Tempe I think) Arizona.

It doesn't get much better than that (as far a I know)...

Hey Mark, greetings and welcome
I just took a look, and Taylor site doesnt mention a lefthanded option, maybe due to the more complicated solid hollow body design
But I dont think I would modify such nice handcrafted instrument
btw, Im waiting for a custom Moses carbon neck

Its true, we are not experts in musical instruments here, but try to have a bit of it going
