Jerry's Lefty Guitars newest guitar arrivals. Updated weekly!: October 2026

2012 Gretsch 6122 Chet Atkins Country Gentleman #563 left handed electric guitar 10/2/26

This is the redesigned model of their earlier Country Gentleman that had the string mute levers. Chet Atkins palm muted and didn't want the levers on the original, but the marketing guys won out. So the redesign is how Chet wanted it. Very rare guitar in lefty.

2002 Rickenbacker 370/12 Fireglow 12 string #538 left handed electric guitar 10/2/26

Rickenbacker discontinued the 370/12 model in righty and lefty in 2007. You hardly ever see the 370/12 in lefty. And of course Rickenbacker has not made any lefty guitars since 2022. Roger McGuinn and Tom Petty are two of the most prominent musicians that championed the 370/12.

1987 Guild JF65/12 Blonde Jumbo 12 string #475

The most sought after 12 string acoustics are the jumbo Guilds from the 80s and 90s. Stevie Ray Vaughan played this exact model on MTV Unplugged in 1990. Tom Petty, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Brian May, Paul Simon, and even Jimi Hendrix all used Guild 12s on stage and in the studio. Play this for 30 seconds and you'll know why it has the reputation it does. This was the first year of the JF65/12 production. Maybe the first lefty ever made.

Condition: 9.8 of 10. About a half dozen tiny dents on the top. No scratches or dings through the finish. Back and sides are perfect. Neck is straight. Frets have little to no wear.

Price: $4250

2021 Fender American Ultra Stratocaster Texas Tea #329 left handed electric guitar 10/2/26

Another of the newish colors from Fender. It looks better in person. The pickups are Seymour Duncan.

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

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.
