Teuffel (pronounced toy-fel) Guitars is a very unique German guitar company who build some of the most distinctive and quirky instruments you’re ever likely to see.  This boutique brand’s guitars could easily be classed as fine art and are generally favoured by more experimental musicians.

Teuffel produces a small range of boutique guitars, and one of them – the Tesla – is available in a left handed version. The Tesla comes in a few different design variations.

Teuffel Tesla Left Handed Guitars

The Tesla is very much a guitar for those musicians who prefer to err on the more experimental side of music creation.  Teuffel wanted to create a modern guitar which paid homage to the days of old where guitars would emit uunwanted sounds due to technical flaws.

Through the Tesla you can recreate the sound of feedback from a pickup which hasn’t been wax-potted yet, or the hum that might arise from a loose solder joint.  The guitar features a variety of buttons, which when activated will recreate those sounds which were so prominent in times gone by.

Stagg is a Belgium based musical instrument company, founded in 1995.  They produce a large number of affordable instruments and accessories, including guitars, basses, drums, pianos, banjos, mandolins and a variety of wind instruments.

Stagg churns out a hefty number of left-handed guitars and basses, but also produces a few harder to find left-handed niche instruments such as banjos and mandolins.  There should be something for everyone inside the Stagg catalogue, and their prices are well within almost anyone’s reach – good times!

Stagg Left-Handed Guitars, Basses, Banjos and Mandolins

Too many to list! Stagg produces an impressive range of 39 left-handed instruments, including electric guitars and basses, acoustic and classical guitars, banjos, mandolins.  The image above represents a small sample of the available left-handed instruments from Stagg, so be sure to check out their website for the full list (link below).

The Stagg website displays left-handed options separately to their right-handed counterparts, making them fairly easy to spot.  However there is such a large number of products to sift through that it would be quite time consuming and tedious to flip through every page.

Luckily the site has a search function which you can use to throw up all of the left-handed products.  I’ve found that typing “lefthanded” (one word) in the search bar is the most reliable method.  Try it out and see if anything catches your eye.

Founded in 1982 in Poland, Mayones Guitars are famed for their high-quality handmade custom guitars and basses.  Mayones market their guitars as being something a little different to the norm, for players who want to stand out from the crowd and be noticed.

Mayones offer a good number of their guitars and basses in a left-handed version, with no added up-charge for the privilege. The images below show the range of models available, but keep in mind that a variety of extra options and colors are offered when ordering.

At present, left-handed guitarists can grab any fixed bridge model from the Regius and Setius series, whilst bassists can have any of the Be and Jabba series guitars.
