Looking for left-handed Ibanez guitars or basses? Unsure which models are currently available to us southpaws? You’ve just hit the jackpot, my friend!

This guide lists all of the newly introduced left handed Ibanez guitars and basses, as well as any previously available models carried over from last year.

Does Ibanez Make Left-Handed Guitars?

Yes! At the time of writing Ibanez currently offers roughly 36 left handed guitars – 17 electrics, 10 acoustics, and 9 basses. Additional left handed Ibanez guitars are usually offered throughout the year as part of their limited edition ‘spot production‘ series.

Ibanez has a reputation for catering mainly to guitar-shredding types, but as you’ll see below, there’s a lot more to the Japanese brand than that!

Left Handed Ibanez Guitars & Basses

Ibanez is a tricky brand to add to the site because their left handed range is constantly changing.

Limited edition models come and go, individual stores commission exclusive runs, and on top of that, some left handed Ibanez guitars are only available in certain regions.

Some of these models may have been recently discontinued, but if I was still able to find them in stock, I have left them in the guide.
