Being left-handed is usually a curse when it comes to buying musical equipment and instruments. But with some of the most talented musicians in music history being left-handed, why do they continue to get a raw deal in terms of instrument choice?
It’s a question which is commonly posted on various online forums and put to guitar and bass organizations by lefties worldwide. This question is usually met with answers like; ‘lack of demand and cost’, time and time again.
Generally, manufacturers in the industry offer limited lefty options from their arsenal of guitars and basses, leaving left-handers somewhat isolated and neglected with slim pickings. Additionally, prices tend to increase considerably for left-handed equivalents of the same models which are available as right-handed. Not fair!
Whilst there is only an apparent 15% of left-handed people globally (according to American Scientist), and even less so who play a guitar or bass left-handed, there IS a demand which is clear from the lefty online community who continue to question this. Left-handed players do want choice in quality guitars and basses.
Step up Warwick and Framus. Here, left handed players are seen as equal and have the option of nearly every Warwick and Framus model in the extensive range - providing genuine equality, from a genuine company who has seen a solution to the problem by offering a greater range of left-handed instruments.
Moreover, there is no extra charge for making our basses and guitars left-handed – so, music to your ears is the expression, right?
Warwick and Framus cater for musicians at every level from the Rock Bass series right through to full-seasoned professional Custom Shop designs.
Jon Lawton - Eighth Day Army, David Stratton – Session Artist and Kyle Sanders – Bloodsimple are just a handful of our left-handed endorsers who have been able to benefit from the left handed options available.
