Left-Handed Guitarists, do you use a left or right-handed guitar? (sopuli.xyz)

I have always wanted to play guitar, and now that i am an adult with adult money i am finally going to learn. I am a lefty, and i do just about everything lefty and always have. archery is about the only thing i know i do righty and that is because the gear i had access to as a kid was right-handed.

I have access to a right-handed guitar, but not to a left-handed guitar to compare.

Curious what other sinister guitarists think before i shell out cash for a lefty.

I play lefty. Holding a guitar right handed feels super awkward for me and I’d sooner learn to play with the strings reversed than hold it right handed.

Downsides: more expensive, harder to learn cords from books, can’t play borrowed guitars. Upsides: more natural feel, easier to learn fingering looking at the other person’s guitar mirror style, can’t be forced to play borrowed guitars

I have considered a righty upside down.

I also like the idea of a lefty that no one else can play.
