Stagg 25017782 Bluegrass Left-Handed Mandolin

Product Information

The answer to this question is very similar if it was a right-handed player asking it. Although the choice is slightly less extensive for a leftie, a left-handed beginner should still consider a few basic factors when selecting their first guitar.

Some of the most influential guitarists of all time have been left handed - Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain, Tony Iommi...the list goes on! Here at Andertons Music Co. we offer a wealth of options for the lefties among us - there's something to suit every style and level of ability!For just a little extra money compared to the Vangoa above, we can look at the Stagg M20 left handed Mandolin. Like the Vangoa, this is an 8-string A-style model in a burst finish and it carries similar specifications. They were introduced by Gibson in the early 20th century, and most modern designs are based on these original instruments. The points on the bottom of the mandolin have a small impact on the sound produced, and also provide a handy resting point for when playing seated. F-Style mandolins are generally most popular amongst country, bluegrass, and roots-style players.

With only around 10% of the world’s population being left-handed, the demand for left-handed guitars is naturally lower compared to right-handed models. Additionally, many left-handed guitarists often adapt and play right-handed guitars instead. As a result, the production volume of left-handed guitars is significantly lower, leading to higher manufacturing costs per unit. You certainly aren’t going to find many left handed mandolins for sale (if any at all!) in your local guitar store, which makes purchasing online pretty much unavoidable. Which style is best? Although there is little variance between designs in terms of tones produced, there are some key differences between each style. So, you’ve got your new mandolin and a bunch of shiny accessories – now what? At this point it would probably make sense to learn how to make some sweet, sweet music, right?At the time of writing, the most affordable left-handed mandolin is the Vangoa VMA10. Unless you hit up the second-hand market, that is! First and foremost, we are guitarists, and we want other players to find the right product for them. So we take into careful consideration everything from budget to feature set, ease of use and durability to come up with a list of what we can safely say are the best left-handed guitars on the market right now. However, I know that some new players can struggle a little at first. So, if you want to make sure to get started on the right foot, William Bay has a great left handed mandolin chord chart.
