Eastwood Guitars is a Canadian guitar brand which was founded in 2001 by owner Michael Robinson. Robinson created the company with the aim of building affordable, but very playable versions of rare and vintage guitars which had long gone out of production. Unlike the guitars they are modelled after, these instruments are meant to be played and not just collected.
Eastwood has an amazingly large and varied collection of left handed guitars, and as a result this article is also going to be amazingly large and varied! Many lefty electric guitars and basses are on offer as well as several niche instruments such as mandolins, resonators and tenor guitars.Hope you have a fast internet connection… ;)

Eastwood Guitars Website
The Eastwood Guitars website is actually really very good – and very clever! Every single guitar is displayed in a separate frame on the left hand side which makes for some very simple window shopping! Most sites will hide guitars in different sub pages, forcing you to click through several pages before landing on what you were after.
Left handed options are clearly displayed at the top of each product page, and unlike many sites you are actually offered an image (in a HIGH resolution) of the left handed choices. Excellent!
