Jerry's Lefty Guitars newest guitar arrivals. Updated weekly!: June 2021

1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom 20th Anniversary Cherry Burst #789 left hand guitar 6/20/21

So two 1974 20th Anniversary LP Customs in the shop at the same time.

Weight: 10.2 lbs

Condition: 8.1 small dents, dings, and scratches. It looks like some compression from a hit on the lower bout face about six inches up from the endpin opposite the control knobs. No cracks or separation on the binding though. It's all tight. Marked "2" for factory second on the back of the headstock. They did that for finish flaws. $3895. On hold.

Collings 290 Pelham Blue left hand guitar 6/20/21

Is there ever a bad color for this guitar? NO! But this one looks exceptionally wonderful. I remember 15 or 20 years ago I would have never bought a blue guitar (but why?). Now it is my favorite color. $4000 list.

Weight: 7.5 lbs

Condition: New

Boucher Limited Edition Moon Wood Adirondack/Master Grade Flamed Walnut OM #036 left hand guitar 6/20/21

Boucher has the finest stock of Adirondack Spruce in the world. All the high end builders buy their Adirondack from Boucher. The top on this one is probably the most perfect Adi top I've ever seen. As "Moon Adirondack" the tree is cut during a waning moon and hung upside down, resulting in this top. I can't argue with the sonic results. Come in and give it a try.

$5949 list, $5295 MAP.

Condition: New

ALL THAT'S NEW AT JERRY'S LEFTY GUITARS!

Visit us at: https://www.jerrysleftyguitars.com

This is a way for me to immediately let you know what has arrived on a weekly basis. I will be posting all new guitars first on this blog with links to Flickr and pricing. They go on my website soon after if I did not sell it directly as a result of someone seeing it on this blog first. It usually takes about a week for a guitar to go from blog to website. Please direct inquiries about buying guitars you see on this blog to my email or phone. I've sold hundreds of guitars from the blog that have never made it to my website or the "sold guitars" pages on the website. If you see something you are interested in, email or call. Whomever asks about a particular guitar gets the first refusal on the guitar. You can subscribe to this blog so every time I post you get an email. That way you know the day anything new arrives. I'll likely be posting weekly, letting you know what's up in the lefty guitar world (or my little corner of it anyway).

There will probably be some growing pains (certainly on my part!) with this blog, but I'll figure it out eventually.

I've now subscribed to Flickr to host my photos. They present the photos much better than Photobucket. I currently have over 2200 guitars (over 44,000 photos) on Flickr. Click on "Albums" to see all the guitars on the account. I'll be keeping the Photobucket account as I have over 1800 guitars on there already.

On Photobucket, you can click on the "view all albums" under the 10 albums shown on the right (bottom of Sub-albums list) and access all the manufacturers (about 70 right now) files that I have photos for. Beginning 7/30/11 I have started adding sub-albums to all the albums so you won't have to search all the photos in an album to find the specific one you are seeking. You can find the sub-albums on the left hand side of the album page. For example, if you want to see the Collings MF, you click on the Collings album and then click the MF sub-album. I started doing this when I realized some of the albums were getting so massive. Who knew I would have over 60,000 photos of ONLY lefty guitars!

My Guitar Story...

I'm Jerry Welch, owner of Jerry's Lefty Guitars in Sarasota, Florida.

I bought my first guitar (a right handed Martin Vega V845, because I'm right handed) in 1975 just before my 21st birthday. Two weeks later I cut off my left index finger in a construction accident (I was a full time carpenter since age 17). I thought my guitar playing days were done.

A few years later, I decided I really wanted to play and it seemed playing left handed was the answer. Having a full hand to fret with seemed more important than a full hand to strum with. So I became a lefty player. I banged around on that turned around Vega for years before deciding to find a factory lefty. Any lefty knows what happened next, frustration. Not even 1% of guitars built are lefties, even though 8% to 10% of the population are lefties.

I eventually accumulated a large collection of lefties but was unhappy with the limited choices all lefties have. I wanted more choices so I spoke with many manufacturers about making more models available. I was told pretty unanimously that they would be happy to make me lefties if I would order them in quantities that would make production feasible. So I did, and here I am a dealer.

I'm finally getting to play a wider range of instruments. I'm having guitars built lefty that have never before been available. I'm working every day to expand the lefty playing options.

Back...
