The Leftorium!

Deluxe Guitars is extremely proud to stock over 20 left handed electric guitars, easily the biggest range of lefties in Victoria, if not Australia. Our "LEFTORIUM" is a whole wall dedicated to the south paw guitarists out there. We aim to have as many left handed guitars is stock as possible. If there is a particular left handed guitar you are interested in, we will endeavour to try and find it for you.

Did you know...

In 1998, a study suggested that approximately 7 to 10 percent of the adult population was left-handed. Studies indicate that left-handedness is more common in males than females. Left-handedness, in comparison to the general population, also appears to occur more frequently in identical twins, and several groups of neurologically disordered individuals (such as people suffering from epilepsy, Down's Syndrome, autism, mental retardation and dyslexia). Statistically, the identical twin of a left-handed person has a 76 percent chance of being left-handed, identifying the cause(s) as partly genetic and partly environmental.

Left-handed people are sometimes placed at a disadvantage by the prevalence of right handed tools in society. Many tools and devices are designed to be comfortably used with the right hand. For example, (right-handed) scissors, a very common tool, are arranged so that the line being cut along can be seen by a right-handed user, but is obscured to a left-handed user.

Some well known left-handed guitar players include: Jimi Hendrix, Tony Iommi, Paul McCartney, Kurt Cobain, Tim Armstrong, Billy Ray Cyrus, and Elliot Easton.
