I know what guitars are ‘best’ is a question that will make forums explode so before I get a flood of ‘it’s personal preference’ responses please understand what I am looking for.
I have never been a phenomenal guitarist, I am a drummer primarily but have always dabbled. And I am left handed….or should I say was.
Last year I was in an accident and it has left me with restricted movement in my right arm, and a touch in my left. I have been rediscovering my drumming ability and getting used to my ‘new body’ and doing ok.
Playing guitar left handed is an absolute no though. My right hand just no longer has the dexterity to work the fretboard. So I have reversed and I am now trying to relearn the guitar right handed.
It’s a head f**k in so many ways but I am starting to get the hang of simple things however both from the injury and the fact that my left hand is not naturally my dominant…I really think finding a guitar with really low action would help a lot.
Right now I have a late 90’s Les Paul Studio that I have loaned from a friend. Back when I could play left handed I had a LP standard so I am used to the guitar to some degree, but also know it’s not the ‘easiest’ to play and can be a little agricultural!!!
Just looking for some genuine help in looking for something that will help my recovery and progression. Any advice would be greatly appreciated gang.
