Guitars anyone???

If it's not too late on what guitar to buy allow me to chip in. I'm a lefty and learned (well, learning!) with a right handed guitar. Honestly, it has never been a problem and as another wise poster said you're gonna strum with your right while the left stretches, shapes and eventually skitters up and down the neck. I've come to adapt to the right handed world and a lot of the time a lefty turns out to be the supreme being playing right handers at their own game. Alternatively you could buy a right handed guitar, flip it to the left side and rearrange the strings…
Good luck with it and practice, practice practice!

Not purchases yet. I'm still prevaricating. I have seen several suggestions, however, that say if it was better to have your dominant hand on the neck, then right-handers would play the other way around. I have no opinion on that myself, but it's interesting to hear from a left-hander. I'll make my mind up at some point!

regardless of which guitar you buy take one-to-one lessons, at least to begin with - saves developing a lot of bad habits and can be inspiring.
Yep, I'll be taking lessons, one on one. There are several local instructors who look very good.

I'm sitting here withy no knowledge of playing a guitar, but I am overwhelmingly convinced by the arguments above, that in your case (seeing as you appear to be pretty ambidextrous) that going right hand is the way to go….
consider this "liked".

Learning to play right handed has to be the right answer, if only for this reason:
@xtcclassic:Just remember that if you learn to play right-handed, you will never suffer the pain of not being able to own your dream guitar because it isn't available left-handed.

Macari's on Denmark Street have a decent collection of Les Pauls in stock. This is the window, although the Telecaster style guitar is a James Trussart.
The Great Wall of Pauls! :o
I don't normally like pre-aged guitars, but this one was really cool. It's one of five (I think) that Gibson produced for their top retailers in the UK.

Got the IHxVox amp for Christmas, it works, perfect as a practice amp, no need for something bigger or something else. Its a great gimmick for home.

Cant believe I just now discovered this thread. After looking through the whole thread, I thought I'd share too. Here's what I've been working with lately:
90's Japanese Fender Jazzmaster
Epiphone Riviera with a bigsby and filtertron copy pickups
Also, here's my amp and board set up.

I just installed the bridge pickup this weekend, it’s a Kinman noiseless humbucker-sized P-90. The neck pickup is a Harmonic Design Z-90. I had the matching bridge pickup but replaced it with the Kinman. Both Harmonic Design and Kinman make fantastic pickups.
