I am left handed, so when the time came to obtain a guitar, my options were limited, and I personally felt the one thing I have known my entire life. Being left handed is the most disciminated thing to be, regardless of your views on racism. You quite simply do not know what it is to be unrecognized, and treated like a bastard, the way a left handed person is. But, that does make us very much more adaptable, and intelligent, so thank you. When I wanted a guitar, my options reflected what I just relayed to you. That is what it is like to be left handed. So i built my own. That is how and why I learned to build guitars.
