RedStar Guitars pledge to left handed players
As a left handed player myself I am well aware of the lack of choice offered by the vast majority of guitar shops and dealers. With this in mind my pledge to you, my fellow lefty, is that I will carry as many left handed models as is possibly viable. All of my range that have left handed issues shall be stock items, colours will still be limited but anything I don't have in stock will normally be delivered within 7 working days with an complimentary 5% discount!
Adam Done, Director, RedStar Guitars
A word on left handed
Many great guitarists have played left handed, from Jimi Hendrix to Kurt Cobain, Toni Iommi and Paul McCartney. The repertoire of left handed guitar players would indicate that lefties have a pre-disposed skill set to be creatively genius.
Some Artists who you may have heard play Guitar (or played) left handed: Bob Geldof (Boomtown Rats), Tim Armstrong (Rancid), Dick Dale, Iggy Pop, Bobby Womack, Al King, Al Mackay (Earth, Wind & Fire), Seal, Kris Roe (The Ataris), Kurt Cobain (Nirvana), Sir Paul McCartney (The Beatles, Wings), Andrew White (Kaiser Chiefs) and Jimi Hendrix. Let me know who i've missed and if you think I should add an artist to this list...
Kris Novoselic and the late Kurt Cobain, Nirvana. Kurt is playing a left handed Univox Hi-Flyer, pre-Eastwood Hi-Flyer Guitar (Chicago 1991)
Andrew 'Whitey' White, Kaiser Chiefs. Talented, left handed, and a light-weight, we hear.
