Help!

I really want to get a new guitar, the problem is I need a left-handed one.

I asked at my local music shop, and they looked at me like I was mental. Does anyone know any sites or sellers, either online or not. Preferably want an electro-acoustic (have neighbours and OH's parents half the year) and since I know it'll cost more due to not being needed so much, mybudget is around £150-200. I'm hoping to get it around my birthday (April) but I'd like to start comparing prices and brands now.

Thanks guys

Yup, I've tried it, but it's a buggar having to remove the bridge things, switch them round, hope they're back in, in line and then re-string, I've done it before, and the guitar sounded funny and would never tune right, so I think going either new or s/h straight away would be best. Thanks anyway though

I know it might not help as they don't often appear but you could try ebay or trade-it. Or even put a wanted ad.

Try:

Try a better music shop - one that specialises in guitars, for example.
