I don't want to introduce a taboo subject on this forum, so Mod, please remove this if it's against the rules.


In the early 80s, I saved hard and bought an Ibanez Artist but had to sell it a year later.

I check reverb and ebay occasionally. Are there any shops that cater to lefties looking for instruments, I mean something better than the two I use?

I know that if I just wait patiently that one will show up at some time. I'd really love to get a guitar like that, for nostalgia. I also dig the double cutaway.

If we're talking 6-strings here, the AR300, AR100 and even the rare and older 24-fret 2619 were available left-handed and especially the 100 pops up regularly (at least here in the Netherlands).

Thanks, guys. I want one for sentimental value. It was my first lefty in 1988.

That's not an Artist but an Artstar, and the ad is 573 days old and has long ended.

This is an Artist: https://reverb.com/item/19881562-left-h ... rtist-1981

Overpriced though. I would pay no more than 800 for an AR300.

Almost forgot: there was a batch of lefty AR420's made in 2015. They were made in Indonesia and can be found affordably.
