It will only be shit if you don't follow the schematics correctly, or do a shit job of soldering it, and you'd have to be a cripple to fuck it up that badly.mr_brightside said:

Left handed guitars are stupid for two reasons:
1) Because theres no such thing as a left handed piano.
2) Your most dextrous hand would be doing all the fretwork on a right handed guitar, so theoretically, wouldn't that be easier?

argh no it's not
people often say that to me
right handers should play left handed then
i read this study this guy did about left handers who had learnt guitar right-handed. as soon as they changed to a left handed guitar it took them about 6 months to get back to the level they were playing right handed and from there they improved heaps faster.
whether it sounds like it should be easier in theory or not, in practice, left handed for left handed is the only way to go if you want to reach your full potential
There is so much coordination involved in picking and the hand picking is typically moving a lot more whereas for the hand doing the fretwork it's always wrapped around the neck of the guitar. yes, both hands need to be precise but the hand doing the fretwork is sort of 'anchored' and that's why you need more control in the other hand (because it's hovering above the strings).
That's my theory anyway.

I was only stirring anyway, but I'm increadibly skeptical of that study. I know a bunch of left handers who learned right handed instruments and became extremely good, really quickly. And by the same token i knew a few lefthanders who still suck after years of playing left handed instruments.golfstick said:argh no it's not

Obviously the ability to learn and control coordination is different from person to person, and those who have highly developed coordination could probably learn either a right handed or a left handed instrument and still show the same progress.

what that study is saying that, in general, if those people you know had played left handed they'd be better than they are now and those people who are shit playing lefthanded would be even shitter if they had learnt right handed.
