Left-Handed Guitars
Left-handed guitars are a real part of what we do, not an afterthought. The bulk of this range is Gold Tone’s Paul Beard signature resonator line, built left-handed rather than converted: the roundneck PBR/L, PBR-D/L and PBR-CA/L for blues and bottleneck players, the squareneck PBS/L, PBS-M/L, PBS-D/L and the eight-string PBS-8/L for lap-style Dobro playing, the metal-body GRS/L, and the PBB/L resonator bass. Alongside them sit two Weissenborn-style Hawaiian slide guitars, the GT-Weissenborn/L and the SM-Weissenborn+/L; two tenor guitars, the TG-10/L and the Mastertone TG-18/L; and the LS-6/L lap steel.
Left-handed instruments in these categories are genuinely hard to find. Most left-handed guitars are stocked to order rather than sitting on a shelf anywhere, so if the model you want is not showing as available here, call us — we can usually order a left-handed build direct from Gold Tone with a four to six week lead time, and there are models we can get that have not made it onto the website yet.
Every left-handed guitar is professionally set up at Gold Tone’s factory before it ships, with free US shipping and a 7-day satisfaction guarantee. Call us at (404) 218-8580 or email [email protected] for current availability or to order a specific left-handed model.
