Can this guitar be converted to left-handed?

Yes, BUT, it's not as easy as stringing it reversed. Acoustically and tuning peg no problem. The nut, which is the bar at the end of the neck, is cut for string width so you would have to pop it off and turn it around or get a new one made. Same with the bridge, the intonation is set by the factory with some strings slightly longer than each other. You would need to get a lefty one, which is an easy swap if you can get one. I would assume the parts are available but not sure of the cost and how easy it would be to do on your own. Not sure if a true lefty version of this guitar is made.

NO! You need to purchase a 6501 C3. That is the code for the Left handed version.

This guitar comes with strings installed for right-hand players but the guitar is symmetrical and can be used left handed. It is very easy to play and has a good sound for the price.

No, this case would not work for a left handed Explorer. The guitar would have to sit in the case top side down, not top side up as is usual with guitar cases.

No it's not a dumb question and yes it is for right handed players. Left handed guitars are always labeled as such.

Yes! I'm left handed and love mine. It is not designed for any particular "handedness." &#128516;

No. If you wanted to play it left handed, it would have to be restrung and turned upside down. Even then, the bridge position would be for a right handed setup.

I think (but don't know for sure) that you can switch the strings to be left-handed and not worry about the bridge (the wooden bridge near the bottom end). I have been playing mine without widening any of the grooves in the bridge. Two of the strings go down into the groove and two strings are perched on top of the groove. As long as it is in tune, I don't think it matters. But, I think you should take it to a guitar store and ask the people there, just to be sure.

I play right handed and use the Qwik Tune for tuning the strings mostly, but it does not appear to be able to switch to cords for left handed playing.

If you order the custom version from Timbuk2, you can get it in a left handed version. However, the price is a bit higher depending on your configuration.

I'm pretty sure you could get this in a left handed model.. Great buy on these holster cowboy rigs, very well made.

My husband is right handed so I think it is likely for that.. Maybe you could stop by your local music store and inquire if they can re-set it and restring it to be for left handed?? Good luck!!

This guitar can be used ambidextrous. Just change the order of the strings and turn the bridge saddle around. You may need to have the nut replaced. Since there is no pick plate or body orientation, it should be able to be adapted to left handers.

i believe reversing the strings would work. Nothing in the guitar implies a right or left handed instrument.
