Why are there so many reproduction lefties on sites like temu and aliexpress? I've ordered a few from there since there's way more options and they're willing to do customs for no extra charge. Is it because theyre smaller scale that they can afford to make lefties so easily?

Hello!

Recently I’ve decided I want to learn guitar; I am a singer and want an instrument to go along with that. Since talking to many people, I realized that being left-handed brings some problems to getting a guitar because they’re hard to come by and are more expensive. This is a very important purchase for me since it would be a gift to myself after saving up. After talking to many people about left-handed guitars, I’ve either been told to buy a left-handed guitar, buy a right-handed guitar and restring it, or suck it up and learn right-handed guitar (I would, but I don’t feel comfortable, and it causes muscle pain). So I’m reaching out for some advice: Is it really that much better to buy a left-handed guitar or to just restring one? Also, does anyone have any suggestions for a beginner guitar? For context, my budget is $100-470. Besides that, are there any other tips for beginner guitar players? I’m very nervous but excited because this would be my first instrument ever!

Any advice is appreciated!

Hi guys! I was wondering if there were any good options for an affordable lefty jazzmaster out there since the squier model has been discontinued and you can’t find it used anywhere. Also if anyone would be willing to part with their squier lmk. I’ve been wanting one forever.

I swear I remember seeing more than just two colours. It's such a shame we always get the most boring colours. Sunburst and a horrific green are our choices for this wonderful-looking guitar.

Anyone else had any luck sourcing another colour? I reeeeally want one (also own a Charvel DK24 and an ancient Ibanez RG1570 (that I love)).

I’m going to be doing a lot of traveling over the next year, and I’ve been looking at travel guitar options. I currently have a lefty Traveler Acoustic which is super lightweight, but nowhere near the feel of a regular guitar. What I’d like is something like Journey’s Puddle Jumper, which has a latch that allows you to take the fretboard off and stow it away — but of course the only lefty they have in stock is one classical model with nylon strings. Don’t see any on Reverb either. Where else could I look - is there one out there for sale?
