Left Or Right Handed?
One important factor that I forgot to mention yesterday - standard guitars are for right handed people.
There are such products as left handed guitars. This is not to say that if you are left handed you should immediately look for a left handed version. Really with a standard guitar the left hand is doing most of the hard work! It’s important if you are left handed to try out both before you buy but for the most, if you are left handed get a left handed guitar.
There have been many famous left handed guitarists in the past. Kurt Cobain, Paul McCartney and Tony Iommi were all leftys. Probably the most famous lefty was Jimi Hendrix. In those days they did not have left handed guitars so he would have to restring his the other way round.
Bear this in mind when making your purchase.
