I'm left hand but play right-handed and in truth i find it soooo much easier. The reason being is that i hold the strings on the frets with my stronger left hand making it much easier. So i suggest getting a right. You can always play it upside like Jimmy Hendrix did i think. And there more widely available as well as cheaper usually

Thanks for that...my mum has said that I can have one if I get into the uni I want...so I'm just trying to work out a good one to get. I've found a couple of good ones here; www.guitar-mania.com

Any suggestions as to one to get ???

Ironically Jimi was right handed!!! He chose to play left handed!!!

If you want to H2H, drop me a mail (it's in my profile) or post up here, what you're into, and I'll let you know what I'd use for what style and budget sort of thing.

You're not gonna get Travis-esque jangle from a BC Rich Warlock, or heat-seeking thermonuclear distortion from a Rickenbacker, horses for courses and all that, tell me which course you're running on and I'll tell you which horse I'd back

I went into Cambridge today and had a look in one of the music shops there. They found me a left handed Yamaha steel string acoustic and let me play around on it for a while. Seeing me try and play guitar would have had you in stitches !!!

I have a better idea of what I want to get now...I've seen a nice steel string Encore Acoustic, not that expensive either
