Why Left Handed Guitars?
We all know that there are less left handed people than right handed people in the world.
Analysts calculate that 1 in 10 human beings are left-handed.
This means the total amount of left handers living in the world is over 600 million.
According to Scientific estimates, there will be a billion left-handed people living on planet Earth by 2020.
Another interesting fact is that the number of left handed people born in 2005 were double those born in 1990.
So while the left handed population appears to be multiplying, there is a contrast of trend happening in another area: availability of left handed musical instruments, specifically left handed guitars.
This is not a new situation however, but it is has changed for the worse in the 2000's.
Left hand guitars have always been in short supply, but to be fair, many major manufacturers have tried to accommodate left handed players by providing at least a basic range of lefty guitars. Probably if there had never been a Kurt Cobain, or a Paul McCartney or a Jimi Hendrix, or an Elliot Easton, everyone today would be playing right handed guitar regardless of what hand they used to write with!
What is alarming is this. A recent survey of left-handed school children concerning left handed guitars showed a staggering group view that playing left handed guitar was "too hard" or "not worth the trouble" and hence out of defeat, the majority of these children felt obliged to deny any natural inclination they have toward playing left-handed guitar and instead become good little robots and learn to play guitar right handed, like "everyone else."
I suspect that these survey results probably do not differ from survey results that might have been obtained in the 1990s, or 1970s or 1960s.
Strangely, the 1980's was the only era when there appeared to be a "better selection" of left handed guitars than prior and recent times.
Left Handed guitarists wanting left-handed guitars and left handed bass guitars that are otherwise not available in left hand by original manufacturers do have a new choice: Gaskell Guitars, the only left handed guitar manufacturer in the world that makes left handed guitars and basses in the models that are not available in left hand elsewhere.
Left handed guitarists - you need to support those who support you. And those people are not the big money-motivated guitar brands that don't bother to make left handed guitars anymore or never did. Turn your back on those people.
