A left-handed guitar is a stringed instrument designed specifically for left-handed players. Unlike standard guitars, which are made for right-handed use, left-handed guitars have the strings and fretboard reversed. This allows left-handed musicians to play comfortably and effectively without straining their hands. Many popular guitar brands, such as Fender and Gibson, offer left-handed models to accommodate the needs of left-handed players. While left-handed guitars are less common than their right-handed counterparts, they provide an essential option for those who find traditional guitars challenging to play.
