Left Handed Electric & Bass Guitar Kits

Finding a good left handed guitar is hard enough. Finding a left handed guitar kit is even harder. We carry a dedicated selection of left handed guitar kits that are properly mirrored, not just flipped. The nut slots, the pickup angles, the control cavity, and the body contours are all oriented for a left handed player.

Our lefty kits include S-style, T-style, single cutaway, bass, and other body shapes. Every kit ships with the same components as our right handed versions: a pre-shaped body, a fretted neck, pickups, hardware, and full wiring. The only difference is the orientation.

If you are a left handed player who has been settling for a limited selection at guitar shops, building your own kit opens up real choices. You pick the body style, the finish, and the setup. No more playing a right handed guitar upside down or choosing from two models on the wall. Build the lefty guitar you actually want.

True Left Hand Orientation

Our lefty kits have properly mirrored bodies with correct nut slotting, pickup angles, and control placement, not just a flipped right handed kit.

Body Style Availability

We carry several left handed body styles including double cutaway, single cutaway, T-style, and bass configurations.

Nut and Bridge Setup

The nut is pre-slotted for left hand string order (low E on the right side) and the bridge intonation is set accordingly.

Aftermarket Compatibility

Standard pickup sizes and mounting patterns mean you can upgrade to aftermarket left handed or universal-fit components.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these actually left handed or just flipped right handed kits?

These are true left handed kits. The body shape, nut slotting, pickup routing, and control cavity are all properly oriented for left hand playing. They are not mirrored afterthoughts.

What body styles are available in left handed?

We carry left handed versions of our most popular body styles including S-style, T-style, single cutaway, and bass kits. Check this collection page for the current lefty lineup.

Can I use right handed pickups in a left handed kit?

In most cases, yes. Standard pickups work in either orientation. Some staggered-pole single coils are designed for right hand string spacing, so check the pole piece alignment before installing.

Why are left handed guitar kits a good option for lefty players?

Retail stores typically stock very few left handed guitars. Building a kit gives you full control over body style, finish, and electronics without being limited to whatever a store happens to carry.
