Nilam Music Left Handers

Welcome to the Left-Handed Guitar Department. We've grouped all the lefties here for convenience - electric, acoustic and bass. We try to keep a decent range of instruments for different levels, and as much variety as we can bear. All the instruments here have been selected not just because of their handedness but also due to their quality and value. I can set up left handed guitars but I find it quite weird as I can't check them over afterwards - but everyone seems happy enough with the job I do (at, of course, a very reasonable price). All the accessories and boring descriptions of string and plectrum differences hold true for lefties - but check out our special string section. Trust me, I'm a salesman.

Squier Standard Strat

This is the classic Strat design from Fender's own budget range. The Standard Series is a very well made range, with the feel and character of guitars costing much more. This one has a nice neck, and a lot of tone - it sounds like a Strat should. Good value at only:

£199

Complete with a gig bag and strap

Vintage V-100 Single Cut

This is one of Vintage's classic design range, in a lovely Sunburst finish. These have a decent set neck, giving an authentic feel, and the new Wilkinson pickups give a full, rich tone - plenty of power too. The Wilkinson hardware is of the highest standard for this price range - all in all, a very nice guitar and excellent value for the quality. On special at just:

£199

Complete with a gig bag

Yamaha APX-5

This is a modern classic electro-acoustic, very compact with a good tone acoustically and plugged in. It is an easy to play guitar, and surprisingly responsive for the amount of wood that's actually there. I have one left (pardon the pun) and as I no longer deal with Yamaha, I'm putting this one out at just :

£249

A bargain

Lag Arkane

These are one of our favourite rock guitars - very comfortable to play, with good balance and a nice neck. The tone is sharp and powerful, and the hardware solid. Very effective guitars in their role. I have two of these lefties at a special price of just

£249

Complete with a gig bag

Guitar Strings

We are proud to announce the arrival of the "Lefty Slinky" range of strings, specially formulated for the left-handed player. These are reverse wound on specially calibrated machines to realign the electron flow through the nickel to improve the tone across reverse angled polepieces. Obviously. The ball-end is wound to the opposite end of the string, and they are packaged in the correctly reversed order. No longer do left-handed players have to tolerate a lesser tone for their electrics. Available in the popular 46-10 & 42-9 gauges at the special introductory price of just :

£5.99

Available from stock and mail order via the website

Nilam Music admit that this may seem somewhat far fetched but don't care. Somebody believes us.
