hezochiah Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Hey guys, I have a friend who is left handed and he asked me if he could take a right handed acoustic and reverse the strings to play it left handed. I was not sure if that was possible so I figured I would refer to the experts. Thanks for any help... Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 11, 2003 Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Yes But he may run into a problem with the strings seating properly in the nut since it has been made for a right handed player. The fortunate part is they can easily be replaced. Also the intonation will be off a touch because of the bridge bone angle placement for the original setup.

Romano Posted August 17, 2003 Report Share Posted August 17, 2003 if it's an acoustic guitar he have to replace the capo and the bridge with a left-handed one , if it's a classical just simple replace the capo and only the bone of the bridge be sure that it has both the shoulders ...........
