Welcome to Fretleft.com, the online community and resource hub built specifically for you—the left-handed guitarist. Whether you’re just thinking about picking up a guitar for the first time or you’re a seasoned pro looking for that next piece of gear, you’ve finally found a place that understands your world.
If you’re a lefty who has ever walked into a guitar store, you know the feeling. Row upon row of beautiful, right-handed guitars, and then, tucked away in a corner, maybe one or two left-handed models, often in a less-than-inspiring finish. If you’ve ever searched for a beginner tutorial online, you’ve likely had to mentally flip the image in your head, turning “mirror mode” on in your brain just to follow along. It can feel like the world of guitar is a party, and lefties weren’t sent the invitation.
That’s why Fretleft.com exists. We believe that the path to musical mastery should not be complicated by a simple fact of your biology. Being left-handed isn’t a disadvantage; it’s just a different way of interacting with the world—and the fretboard. This blog is our mission to level the playing field and create a dedicated space where left-handed players can thrive.
Gear Reviews You Can Trust: We dive deep into the world of left-handed guitars, basses, amps, and pedals.
