    I’m left handed and a guitarist, and I assert that a standard guitar IS left handed.

    i play electric bass (badly) and am a leftie and agree

      This is so interesting. I play bass right handed, standard. The lefty bass felt so weird. What an interesting thought. The left hand is the one doing the most work.

        Yes this exactly. Even playing fingerpick style with the right hand doing some intricate work, I’m really concentrating on my left hand and my right hand just abides.

        I know right? My primary instrument is sax, so they both feel a little off but righty feels better than lefty. I think my hands/wrists are just in the same arrangement (right hand low, left hand wherever the fuck it’s going) for righty bass as my favorite sax.
