Here are some more information for Left Fender:

A good guitar can become like a comfortable old pair of jeans:.after you've had it a while, it becomes a part of your personality. It's that way with Willie Nelson and his guitar:, a 1969 Martin N-20, he named Trigger after Roy Roger's trusty horse and sidekick. The guitar looks as weathered as Willie from many years of use. Many people would see it as trash but is the most beloved of his possessions. He's made a huge investment in trigger to keep the guitar playable. Although he didn't have it when he started his career, It hasn't left his stage since he bought it 40 years ago and he has become an icon of country music..

American bluesman guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan, (1954 - 1990) played a number of Fender Stratocasters. His favorite was his number one, (also called his first wife), a 1962 model. It became known as the most battered stratocaster in rock history. and got rebuilt more than most custom chevys. It was his main performing instrument and he used it in five of his studio albums and on family Style. In 2004, Fender Custom shop produced a faithful but not totally accurate representation of the guitar: the limited edition had a run of 100 instruments. Another of Vaughan's notable guitars was "Lenny", a 1963 stratocaster bought for Vaughan by some friends who together collected $350 dollars. It was originally a 3-tone sunburst with a rosewood neck. A limited edition of Lenny has been reproduced by Fender custom shop since December 12, 2007 and is sold by the Guitar Center for $17,000. The guitar was mainly used for "Lenny" a song of the same name dedicated to Vaughan's wife Lenora. In 2004, Lenny was put up for auction and sold to the Guitar Center for $623,500.

Eric Clapton played mainly Gibsons up until 1969. With the influence of Buddy Holly and Buddy Guy, he took an interest in playing Fender Stratocasters.. In 1970, he bought 6 Fender Stratocasters from the Shobud Guitar shop in Nashville, Tennessee. After giving one each to George Harrison, Stevie Winwood, and Pete Townsend, he used the best components of the other three to create "Blackie", It became his favorite axe and he played it until he retired in 1985. He eventually sold Blackie for $959,500 to raise funds for his Crossroads Center For Drug Addictions. Fender Custom Shop has since produced 275 "Blackies" replicas.

The most expensive vintage guitar known is the 1930's Gibson L-1 that originally belonged to blues guitarist Robert Johnson: the asking price is 6 million. Johnson, who is known as the grandfather of rock n roll, has entranced later generations of rock-n-roll and blues musicians such as The Rolling Stones and led Zeppelin. It was rumored but not actually proven that Johnson got his talent by making a pack with the devil. Although he only made 28 recordings in his 27 year lifespan from 1911 to 1938. he is known as one of the most important musicians that ever lived. However, where Johnson's guitar is is a mystery. The only hear say information about it is that it belongs to a man who lives overseas who isn't giving out any information about it.

Left Handed Guitar Playing - a Guide

Left handed people can become guitar players but there are some adjustments you need to make to your guitar and your outlook. First if you think that you "should" be right handed because that is how guitars are designed, think again. If the hand that keeps telling you it wants to perform actions is your left hand, you are better off listening to it. This is your active hand, which makes your right hand passive. So in a way, your left hand tells your right hand what to do. Paul McCartney is one guitar player who tried to make his right hand do the picking and it did not work. He only started to get anywhere with playing the guitar after he changed the strings around and started picking with his left hand. There are lots of left handed guitar players who have mastered their instrument and gained fame and fortune. I have already mentioned Paul McCartney, and there are many others like Curt Cobain, Tony Iommi, Jimi Hendrix and Slim Whitman.

Dick Dale, "King Of The Surf Guitar" is one notable exception to this rule. The first guitar he learnt to play on was a normal right handed guitar. So he forced his hands to learn to play without changing the order of the strings on the guitar. Even after he was able to buy custom made left handed guitars, he still played with the strings in the right hand positions because that is what he was used to. Bobby Womack and Albert King also play like this.

So what changes need to be made to a guitar to make it suitable for playing left handed? Well, when you hold a guitar in playing position the sixth string - the E string which is the thickest guitar string needs to be on top of the guitar, that is closest to your shoulder. To achieve this the order of the strings needs to be reversed. If you hold a right handed guitar in front of you and look straight at it, the sixth string is on your right hand side. To string the guitar for left handed playing, the first string should be on the right hand side.

Also, the two parts of the guitar that actually hold the strings on - the bridge and the nut need to be changed around. If you look closely at these parts you will see that they have slots cut in them to hold the strings. Naturally the nut and bridge will need to be turned upside down to fit the strings in the reverse order.

Now for the question of buying left handed guitars. Many guitarists complain that left handed guitars cost around double the price of right handed guitars, so you will need to do some serious shopping. Tokai and Vintage make serviceable mid-range left handed guitars for a reasonable price,. Fender make all the 'basic' model Telecasters and Stratocasters for leftys, and Gibson make left handed versions of all their flagship guitars.

Now let us look at another challenge for left handed guitarists - chord charts. If you do a search on the web you will find a range of printed left handed chord charts and chord generators. A good on to start with is "Left Handed Guitar Chord Chart", by Robert Tarchara. There are also books that are written especially for left handed guitar players:
Mel Bay Left-Handed Guitar Chords, by William Bay, 2005
Guitar Case Guide to Left-Handed Chords, by Rikky Rooksby, 2001
Guitar Case Guide to Left-handed Scales, by Rikky Rooksby, 2006

Fortunately there are many left handed guitar players who have been willing to share the knowledge and experience on line. Some can be found on forums, others have set up their own websites. Among other tips they can help with where and how to buy left handed guitars.
