Where to go for left handed guitars and basses? Part One â left handed Explorers
Article by Gaskell Guitars
These days, with more and more major guitar manufacturers ceasing to make their products in left hand as well, one might well ask the question “where do I go for lefthanded guitars and basses these days?”
In actual fact, there are definite guitar models that are popular with guitarists that you cannot get in left hand at all. Some have never been available in LH option.
Fortunately there is one guitar brand in the world that makes left-handed guitars and bass guitars only: Gaskell Guitars, from Australia. Gaskell Guitars was started by New Zealand-born lefty guitarist Kevin Gaskell and since 2006 has become international renowned.
Gaskell makes left handed guitars and basses that are otherwise not available in lefty option by original manufacturers. Here are some examples:
If you are a left-handed guitarist and you want to play, for example, an Explorer style guitar you will be confronted with the following list of facts to contend with:
a) Gibson, the original maker of Explorer guitars does not make left-handed Explorer guitars.b) Gibson no longer makes left-hand guitars at all and you will not even get one through their Custom Shop. c) Hamer who also make Explorer guitars do not make lefties.d) Dean Guitars make an Explorer as well, with their unique V-shaped Headstock. From time to time they do a few lefties. Limited colours though. Still, kudos to Dean for doing that!e) Peavey make an Explore-esque guitar not the same as an Explorer but similar, but they do not make left-handed ones.f) ESP no longer make Explorer guitars based on the original Gibson style ones, but make a more pointy version. It is possible they make their variant in left hand through their Custom Shop. Expect to be paying over 00 for something like that, if they will do it!
g) At the beginners, entry level of the market, we have Rondo Music in the USA who brings in a Chinese-made Explorer style guitar which they do in LH and in 3 colours. It’s not the same shape as Gibson Explorer but is very definitely Explorer-derived. People in online forums, generally rave about how “good” they are but what they mean by “good” really means “cheap price.” And cheap price equals “good.” Any guitarist who says one of Rondo Music’s Agile, SX, or Douglas guitars are “good” does not know what a “good” guitar is. For the price you pay (US 0-700) you could say the guitar was “good” only if you meant the price. Still, people seem to buy these and then replace all the cheap hardware and electronics for good stuff. But by the time you have done that you could have just bought a better quality guitar! Getting back on the subject, you can buy a cheap Explorer style guitar from Rondo Music. Their customer service appears to be excellent, and good on them anyway for offering a lot of cheap lefty guitars as well as right handed guitars. Hat’s off to you guys!h) If you live in the UK, there is Gordon Smith Guitars, the UK’s equivalent of USA’s Gibson. You can get a lefthanded Explorer guitar from them. It looks exactly like a Gisbon. However the wait time can be up to 12 months, per reports. They are about double the price of a Gaskell.
Gaskell Guitars makes left handed Explorer style guitars. Their production models, the Classic and Classic II are similar to the original Gibson Explorers but with slight smaller, more rounded bodies and with a Gaskell original headstock, different from Gibson. No legal violations there!
For the left-handed guitarist wanting a more pro level guitar there are two choices: the Gaskell Classic PRO or the Gaskell Huntsman.
The Classic PRO is customizable and available by pre order. The Huntsman is a matt black gothic style Explorer with all the work to make it done in Australia, and fitted with EMGs.
Left-handed guitarists wanting a quality, gig ready, Explorer style guitar, there is really one place to get one from: Gaskell Guitars.
No matter where you live in the world you can get a Gaskell guitar or bass without too much hassle. Left-handed guitars and left-handed basses only. Designed by a lefty, for lefties. How much more better than that can you get it?

Works fine but smells bad,
They weren’t kidding when the instructions noted that the guitar stand might smell. We followed their advice and put it outside in the sun to air out but that only helped a little. After a few weeks, the noxious rubber/plastic smell is finally wearing off. Otherwise, it is sturdy and trouble free at a great price.

|Great Product,
There are things about this stand that make it affordable, and it is those things that also add to it’s value.
The cradle just sits in the main tube and swivels easily – but this ensures that however you place the guitar on it, it will settle into it.
The top tube insets into the bottom tube and the nut at back holds it in place – this allows you to adjust the height on the top cradle.
The legs are pop-riveted in – that means it folds up easily. NOTE: You have to make sure the legs are snapped into place when open or the stand will not be stable.
I like the security rubber band, it keeps the guitar from popping out while your carrying it around.
The padding on the bars fits well, no slippage.
The feet are rubber, no slip and long lasting. Great bargain here, I really like this stand.

|Great Item and Deal,
This stand is exactly what I hoped it would be. It is all I want or need from a stand. I do not intend to travel around with it but it would be easy to fold up to do so. The strap for across the neck of the guitar to hold it into place is a great plus too. Can’t beat it for the price and American Musical Supply shipped this item the next business day after ordering. Delivery cost was low and it arrived in just a few days standard shipping to Texas.
