Looking for a left handed Jackson guitar? Well you’re in the right place!
Left handed Jackson guitars aren’t exactly a dime a dozen, but we do have a small, quality selection to choose from. Hopefully there’s enough on offer here for most players to find something they’ll like, but if not there’s always the Custom Shop!
To be included in this list, the guitars have to be available to purchase at the time of writing. As a result, this list might include a couple of older models which are now discontinued but still available to buy.
Find out more about each of these left handed Jackson guitar models below. I’ve included links for each guitar (where available) which will show you current pricing information as well as additional specifications.

Left Handed Jackson Guitar Guide

Jackson Custom Shop
Of course, if you have the money there’s always the Jackson Custom Shop where you can have any of their guitars built left handed and to your specifications.
The image below showcases a ton of custom left handed Jacksons, on display at Xtreme Lefty Guitars in Florida, USA.
Limited Run Jacksons
A few stores may occasionally commission a small number of left handed Jackson guitars which aren’t usually available as standard. For example, in addition to the models above, our friends over at Xtreme Lefty Guitars quite often have a handful of Jacksons that you won’t find anywhere else.
Jackson Website
Although there isn’t currently a lefty section, the Jackson website has recently added a left handed filter option in the electric guitar section. So it’s fairly easy to find out what is currently available.
