Re: Beginner Acoustic Guitar - Advice?
Turn from the devil's left hand path ! Otherwise you'll be spending your life buying guitars that cost more, have very few to choose from, and will almost never be able to play someone else's guitar. That and the eternal damnation...

Re: Beginner Acoustic Guitar - Advice?
mate of mine was/is a lefty. he said it was a constant pain in NZ sourcing lefty gats, and very hard to even find one to try. he was stoked when he got to http://www.southpawguitars.com/ on a US visit, but I wonder if he'd have know about the lack of choice if he'd have tried the alternative.

Re: Beginner Acoustic Guitar - Advice?
My search goes on ...
What are your views of the relative merits of a Cort Earth 100 (@ $399) vs. an Art & Lutherie Cedar Antique Burst (@ $599) (both are left-hand)?
The quitar is for an absolute beginner who wishes to entertain himself in the privacy of his own home.
Thank you.

Re: Beginner Acoustic Guitar - Advice?
Thanks for all your good advice. I have bought the Art & Luthier lefty Cedar Antique Burst guitar - the Rockshop in Christchurch gave me a $100 discount, selling it for $500.
Now all I have to do is learn to play it!

Re: Beginner Acoustic Guitar - Advice?
Glad to hear you came right with a guitar, I just thought I would mention, I bought my son an acoustic guitar about two months ago. A Tanglewood Crossroads Dreadnought Whiskey barrel, I reckon was great value for money at that price, it sounds good and is quite easy to play.
