NEW Taylor 816ce Lefty
Here’s a Grand Symphony 816ce for all our lefty faithful. Master-grade Indian rosewood and Sitka spruce in combination with the GS’ large body deliver a big and powerful tone. This is the Taylor model with the most headroom for heavy hitters, but it still manages to add life to delicate fingerstyle. A classy instrument with great looks, feel and presence.

NEW National M1 Tricone Lefty
National’s Mahogany bodied M1 Tricone has a tone unlike anything else the company has ever offered. The volume and dynamic range of this guitar will surprise you at first strum; it’s much more airy and open than a brass or steel tricone – and has much less focus in the mids than the metal bodies. Instead, the sound is warm, wide and breathy, and controlled. Fingerstyle guitarists (who don’t play slide) will find inspiration in this instrument, as will anybody who’s always wanted a resonator but hasn’t found one that’s just right. A truly remarkable creation, and more than 3 pounds lighter than a metal bodied equivalent. Mahogany ply body with wooden soundwell, mahogany neck, ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard, slotted headstock. Round neck carve, 25.65” scale, 1-13/16” nut. Factory left handed.

Santa Cruz D/PWR Lefty
The D/PW is a solid wood dreadnought-sized guitar designed to be able to provide the sophisticated tone and playability SCGC has become famous for at a price far below anything available from SCGC for many years. This guitar incorporates all of Santa Cruz's extensive experience in making acoustic guitars, and puts it to work in an elegant but simpler format. This amazing instrument will appeal to those who want the tone and quality of a Santa Cruz guitar, but don't want to break the bank on one. The PW refers to pre-war or advanced X bracing. This style bracing gives the guitar an incredible presence and bass response yet retains a good balance with strong midrange and bright powerful treble response. The advanced X bracing also makes the guitar very responsive for fingerstyle playing as well as powerful rhythm bass lines.
Sitka Spruce top, Indian rosewood back and sides, ebony board and bridge, one-piece mahogany neck, bone nut and saddle, 25.4" scale, 1-11/16" nut, modified V vintage profile neck carve; open-geared SCGC tuners with ebony buttons, gloss Nitrocellulose lacquer finish, deluxe hard case.

NEW Santa Cruz 000-29 Lefty
The Santa Cruz 000-29 might be the company’s least expensive guitar, but it lacks nothing in tone, if you ask anyone here at Folkway. With their simple appointments, the 29 series instruments were designed to offer the serious tone fanatic the best Santa Cruz sound at the lowest possible price. The guitar features a bound mahogany body, scalloped braces, simple rosette, pyramid bridge, and a solid headstock. Inlays are limited to the ivoroid logo and side dots. The workmanship and attention to detail are classic SCGC though – so expect a masterfully built guitar with a phenomenal voice. The 12 fret guitar is very lightly built and super resonant, and contrary to our expectations, the all-mahogany guitar is warm, and richly complex. It’s both articulate and smoky, with very full trebles and a bass response that’s both articulate and bold. This is a wonderful creation, and it’s left handed! 1-3/4” nut, soft V neck, 25.4” scale. With hardshell case

Santa Cruz H-13 Lefty
Although designed with a 1930's Nick Lucas Model in mind, these guitars are not meant for tiptoeing, tulip season or not! The body depth ranges from 3 7/8" to 5", incredibly deep for a smaller guitar, producing extra volume and bass support to bolster its rich tone. Its comfortable size and complex tonal characteristics will make it especially appealing to traditional players, soloists, and recording artists who demand maximum warmth and tonal versatility.
Features of the handcrafted H-13 include a specially hand-tuned bracing system beneath its top-grade Sitka spruce top, a slotted headstock for classic style and enhanced string angle and sustain, and an ebony 1" x 6" pyramid rectangular bridge. The sides and back are select mahogany, and the mahogany neck features an ebony fingerboard with a total of 19 frets. An ebony headstock overlay with pearl SCGC logo adds to the classic appearance. The dark stained back and sides, sunburst top, and intricate purflings offer a vintage look that works well with the shape of the instrument We have found this to be a great feeling and entrancingly deep sounding guitar. The 13th-fret body joint has always seemed a nice compromise to me, allowing the luthier to create that distinctive twelve fret sound, while giving reasonable access to the second octave. With the huge rebirth of popularity that 12-fret guitars have enjoyed lately, this model is creating a big stir.
With deluxe hard case.

Larrivee 000-50 Lefty

National Lefty VS Tricone
The ever-popular Vintage Steel Tricone in factory left-handed configuration. This steel Tricone has a plated satin nickel finish, mahogany neck and slotted headstock. The Vintage Steel finish on this guitar will age with use and the passage of time making each instrument unique. The Tricone design (3 6" cones and T-bridge), longer 25.6" scale, and a steel body sets this instrument apart tonally from other resonator instruments. Unlike most other guitars, you can't simply restring a right-handed Tricone and expect it to work as a left handed instrument - the folks at National Reso-Phonic needed to specially tool up to be able to build Tricones in left-hand, and we're pleased to continue to offer this instrument to you.

National El Trovador Lefty
Working closely with National endorsee (and all-around amazing guitarist) Mike Dowling, the El Trovador was designed as an updated version of the amazingly rare original El Trovador that was built in very limited numbers in 1933. The thirties El Trovador is Mike's favorite guitar, but was a very funky and low quality instrument, and he had been pressuring National to re-introduce an improved version of the model for a long time. His wish finally came true, and his new signature model is now finally available to all of us. It is a very faithful copy of the original design, but features improvements such as a truss-rodded neck, ebony fingerboard, removable palm rest; and - of course - the attention to detail that National is famous for. Like the original Kay-built instruments, the new El Trovador has significantly deeper and curvier dimensions than other National models (4" deep compared to an M2's 3-3/16"), and has a long 25.6" scale length, 1-3/4" nut, and slotted headstock. It sounds very different than any other National; the extra body depth imparts a bass response and warmth that you don't hear in the El Trovador's closest kin, the M2. It's somehow more vintage sounding as a result, and beguiling to play. Its mahogany body is purfled on all sides and bordered by ivoroid binding, and the resonator coverplate is surrounded by a four-layer ring of purflings. A very classy touch, and a nice way to offset the slightly aged nickel coverplate. Everyone here at Folkway thinks that this is best looking and best sounding guitar National Reso-Phonic has ever offered, and now you can get your very own left-handed version!

NEW Taylor 814ce Lefty
The left handed 814ce features a mix of solid Indian rosewood back and sides and solid Sitka spruce top, an ebony fingerboard and bridge and tropical American Mahogany neck. The soundhole is accented with an abalone rosette, which matches the tasteful 800 series pearl fingerboard inlays. The body, fingerboard, and headstock are bound in maple, and Taylor gold-plated tuners grace the headstock. Internally, the instrument features scalloped bracing, and Taylor Guitar's patented Relief Cut around the top's periphery. The Expression System powers up when you plug in. A deluxe and lavish instrument, built from the finest tonewoods available.

NEW Taylor GC5 Lefty
Taylor’s no-charge Sunburst upgrade is a thing of beauty. They have the best looking sunburst finishes in the industry, bar none, so why not dress up a guitar? Here’s a standard GC5 model, in Lefty, with a red-burst finish over Cedar top, and matching deep red finish over mahogany back and sides. The guitar is tastefully accented with ivoroid bindings, an abalone rosette, and Taylor’s own high-quality cast brass tuning machines. It’s a breathtaking guitar to stare at, and even better to play. Perfectly shaped neck with a 1-3/4 nut feels just right, and the short 24-7/8” scale makes the fretboard easy to travel. Thanks to the Western Red Cedar top, short scale length, and Taylor Guitar’s newly redesigned bracing this guitar’s voice belies its small size. A perfect fingerstyle companion that is fantastic under a flatpick as well. This is one guitar that does it all… and with style. Quite highly recommended.

Breedlove KF Sunburst LEFTY
Isn't it about time you treated yourself to what the other 90% of us found out a while ago: mandolin is FUN! We love being the place to bring your lefty sorrows, and we're sure you'll thank us for commissioning this little gem without you even asking. Hand carved figured maple and spruce, ebony board and bridge, and a bark to scare the mailman. One of the nicest instruments we've seen yet from these makers - a beautiful dark vintage-feeling sunburst, big sound, radiused fingerboard, easy to play. And play. And play.

National M2 Lefty
National's M2 model is consistently a shop favorite. It is a very versatile guitar, excelling not only at delta blues, but at swing and jazz, fingerstyle, and even flat-picking. The body is Mahogany, bound in ivoroid, and complimented by a Vintage-Steel finish resonator cover and tailpiece. The headstock overlay is engraved white pearloid and the fingerboard is inlaid with mother-of-pearl position markers. Three on a strip open-geared tuners, and a bone nut. This one was ordered factory lefty, and it's a blast to play. Nut width of 1-13/16", and a comfortable soft V shaped neck. It's gorgeous, and it sounds great too!

Santa Cruz H Rosewood Lefty
Here's a guitar that will make you want to sit back and slowly pluck away at your favorite traditional waltz. It's one that will mesmerize you with its complexity and openness, power and subtlety. It is the consummate audiophile guitar; akin to a ten-thousand dollar turntable or tube hi-fi power amplifier. Yes, I like it a lot. It is a custom-ordered left handed H model (not the H-13, but the standard H), with 14 fret neck, dreadnaught body depth (4-1/2" at the tail tapering to 3-3/4" at the neck), and vintage styling. Sitka spruce top dressed up with herringbone purfling, a 30's sunburst and rectangular ebony bridge. Rosewood back and sides, ivoroid binding, ebony fingerboard and headstock overlay; open-geared vintage-style tuners. Bone nut and compensated saddle; 25.4" scale and vintage-D profile neck with 1-11/16" nut-width. The H model gets its fat vintage tone partly from the hybrid scalloped / tapered bracing employed on its top - the tone-bars are scalloped and the X braces are tapered - and it really works. Its voice is already startlingly mature, and it is a brand new instrument. A particularly fine instrument

National Mandolin LEFTY
On top of what you can see in the pictures, this mando features a lefty compensated bridge top and a radiused fingerboard for playing comfort and proper intonation. The side dots are installed lefty, and the end of the fingerboard was redesigned for the left-ization. The tone is rich and warm but good and loud as you'd expect from any National. We're constantly amazed by this model's sweetness and woodiness of tone. We've discovered huge versatility in its voice, and we're sure that you will too. The Brass coverplate and tailpiece come from the factory with a lovely aged patina. If you'd like to shine it up feel free to do so using a brass polish. It comes with a lefty hard shell case, too.

Santa Cruz Tony Rice LEFTY
The Tony Rice model continues to be one of the most popular instruments in our Santa Cruz lineup, and you'll know why with your first strum. It's designed to have exceptional balance across the strings, and it does so not by compromising its basses, but by adding fullness and power in its upper register. We're not sure how they do it, but every Tony Rice model we've encountered achieves its design goal and sounds incredible as a result. Indian rosewood back and sides, Sitka spruce top, ivoroid-bound ebony fingerboard with 25.4" scale length and 1-11/16" nut. Herringbone top trim, ivoroid bindings and mitered purflings. 4.25" soundhole diameter helps push out the mids and trebles. Like every Santa Cruz Guitar Company instrument, the TR model is entirely hand built and features a traditional dove-tailed neck joint, high-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish, and an individually voiced scallop-braced top.

It's a great bluegrass flatpicker, and a force to be reckoned with. Standard dreadnaught scale length and a 1-11/16" nut. A deluxe hardshell case is included in the price.

With twelve frets to the body, great feeling vintage-style neck, radiused ebony fretboard, and the perennially popular etched palm trees.

Santa Cruz Vintage Southerner Lefty
The VS is essentially the popular Vintage Jumbo with a shorter 24.750" scale. This makes it slightly less punchy than its longer scale brother, but "sweeter" as a result. It will be huge hit for anyone in love with the sound and feel of the first Gibson J-35s and J-45s. The VS is an extremely light weight guitar - and resonates like nothing else. The rumbly bass will astound you thanks to this light build, but the instrument is still remarkably well balanced. The Vintage-inspired looks of this guitar are well thought out and extremely tastefull; the late 30's style sunburst top is just right, and complimented by an attractive rectangular bridge. The Sheraton Brown back and sides are the right color too (although our photos don't quite capture it), and the Mahogany wood grain is accented just well enough by the finish. The neck profile was obviously very much inspired by those super comfortable round necks of the 1940-2 J-35s, and at 1-3/4" wide there is plenty of room to get your fingers where they're supposed to go... Still, though, the best part of this guitar is that it's a Lefty!

Santa Cruz 000 Lefty
Lefty finger-style guitarist of the world rejoice! Our long awaited Santa Cruz 000 Rosewood has finally arrived! WOW. That about all I can say....

Ok, ok I'll tell you some more: The 12 fret 000-R shown here features some of the most attractive Indian Rosewood we've yet seen - it has a richness in hues akin to Cocobolo, and is perfectly quartersawn and straight grained. The top is incredibly tight-grain Sitka Spruce - with at least 350 years' worth of growth rings to show (I stopped counting at 250) - and the guitar is featherweight. It has hand-scalloped bracing, with brace dimensions more similar to a 30's Martin than most any new instrument out there; and the evidence is in the tone. Rich, rich basses and trebles perfectly matched, and harmonic overtones abundant in every register. Dreadnaught power, with 000 subtleties. And we've only had it for a few days! I can't begin to image how good this guitar will sound as it ages and opens up. This IS the vintage 12 fretter of tomorrow, without any doubt.
Ivoroid bound ebony fingerboard, Ebony bridge, bone nut and compensated saddle, 12 fret neck with slotted headstock and ivoroid bound ebony overlay; SCGC open-geared tuners with matching ivoroid buttons, soft vintage V shaped satin finished neck with dart-style volute. Ivoroid body bindings, zigzag back strip, herringbone top purflings. Thin hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer finish; hand cut and beveled tortoise shell celluloid pickguard, and ebony bridge pins finishing it off. 25.4" scale, and 1 3/4" nut.
