Thats why being a lefty sucks. I was actually thinking about playing right handed, but then i decided not to.

It makes no sense to me why they woukd charge 100 extra dollars to the price of a left handed guitar. And BTW what I had in mind was a website of sometime type where you can see a gallery of buyable guitars. Not Ebay, but something similar.

the increase in price is a throwback to the hand made manufacturing days. it took a little more work to make a left handed model. it's not just a matter of flipping the guitar over, especially when it comes to the neck / headstock. but with today's modern manufacturing plants there's really no need for the price increase.

musician's friend (as was linked earlier) is a great site to browse your options, you can set up a gallery pretty quickly using the options on the left side of the page. right now they've got 53 lefty electrics listed.

i just kinda see it as discrimination. why should something out of my control cost me more money? and no its not "just that easy" but if the ******* who designed the manufacting plant gave two ****s about anything other than his profit margin then he would design it capable of producing both. oh whats that? since they make guitars left handed that means the factories must have been designed to handle both. now here is the real kicker; since 10% of the population is left handed, that means that to make up the difference all they would have to do is make right handed guitars $10 more to offset leftys price... which doesnt make sense because you think they would do that. so in reality what is happening is they just found a way to rip us off. THANKS GUYS!

but like i said, dont fret because according to wikipedia "In 2006, researchers at Lafayette College and Johns Hopkins University in a study found that left-handed men are 15 percent richer than right-handed men for those who attended college, and 26 percent richer if they graduated. The wage difference is still unexplainable and does not appear to apply to women.[30]"
