If you are a left hander and feel you should play left handed. Play left hand guitar. Don’t let anyone tell you differently about there being better guitars for righties and you can play anyone's guitar bla bla bla. You play a guitar to have fun and be the best musician you can be. To go with the natural flow of your rhythm. If you are dedicated to be good then you will make the much wiser choice to go with what feels right. Also if you ever want to have some fun....tell a right handed player to play your guitar...Hell look at you like your crazy Grand and Lala are 100% correct.

If playing with a shorter scale was something that I wanted to do on an occasional basis I'd see your point. But, if it's something that you intend to do (or have to do) on a regular basis then constantly playing a guitar with a capo and fret markers that are off may not be the most enjoyable thing. I can't argue that it works. But, if you do it on a regular basis is that really how you want to play....all the time?

I guess if he can't afford to get something designed for him, we'll all have to suffer.

I'm a lefty but couldn't make the decision: Left-handed guitar or right-handed guitar.. Today is my big day: I'll buy my first electric guitar after 6 monts of acoustic playing. But before I left my house to buy my guitar, I visited this forum and 'm finally sure about what to do: left-handed guitar for me =D Even though this topic’s last comment was 7 months ago, this really helped me out.

Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Johnny Copeland and Albert Collins played with a capo on most of the time. Just tune a regular guitar a half tone down, then use a capo on the first fret.
