In my time, when stripling Rock music was meet coming to an end and “New Wave” music was emerging a “part-time” stripling Rocker was called a “Sunday Punk.” Anyone, for that matter who was a “pretend” something was a “Sunday” something. I suppose that term was from my folks era, so that would hit been, what 50′s? 60′s? The moral of the news was if you are going to be or live the life of something then you be or live the life. You don’t “dress up” once a week and fake being that thing for a day. You could say “be professional” most whatever it is you are being.
As a musician myself and the designer and creator of Gaskell Guitars (http://www.gaskellguitars.com), a company in Sydney state which makes left handed guitars only, not exclusive hit I witnessed the continuing evolution and progress of guitar brands such as the mighty Gibson, Fender, Gretsch, Jackson, Rickenbacker, Ibanez, etc over many years now, but I hit also old the changing views of new generations of people and guitarists most different types of guitars
As a left handed player myself, I hit also old first hand the feelings of frustration and anger most the choices of left handed guitars being so poor. And somehow lefty guitarists are forced to feel aforementioned “second rate citizens” because of it. And it is damned WRONG! Any lefty player who, prior to discovering Gaskell Guitars, will hit old these aforementioned frustrations. All lefty guitarists who hit not given up, feel this aforementioned thing. We are UNITED in this respect. Incidentally, of late, several major guitar brands hit stopped making left handed guitars altogether – how’s that for a slap in the face!
So the point of this story, how do you live the life, if you are 1) a left handed guitarist, and 2) playing a genre of music where a certain type of guitar is allegoric of the genre yet not available left handed?
Simple answer: with enthusiastic trouble (and enthusiastic expense if you go the “custom guitar” route.)
Now here is an additional question: what if you are a … girl?
A “Rock Chick” left handed guitarist, for example.
“Rock Chick” guitarists are aforementioned any another guitarist. There are plenty of Rock chicks experience the life playing in bands, all around the world. Some are left handed guitarists.
Ok, so you are a Rock chick and you want to play some Rock, Metal, or Grunge, or whatever. Are you going to be playing a sunburst, gay-looking Fender Telecaster? Hope not! (This doesn’t matter whether you are a righty or lefty guitarist, by the way.)
So if that’s your music and you are gift it your all, then how most a Dean or a Jackson, or an Ibanez Super-strat guitar? (they all attain them) Maybe, but Strats are pretty boring, really. Not unequalled to the genre. Plenty of Country and Western players play Strats. Doesn’t quite rank the look.
How most a Les Paul? Well, yes. A Les Paul is a Rock guitar. But even then a Les Paul is a little bit of a compromise for someone who is earnest most experience the life and being allegoric of that in their music and in their singable instrument, particularly metal or any of the darker offshoots of Metal.
Do you want a REAL ROCK GUITAR? A real Rock guitar is a Randy Rhoads V, or perhaps a regular Flying V, or something by BC Rich or Halo, both famous for “extreme” guitars popular with Heavy metal guitarists.
Now, if you are a Rock Chick and you are in a metal adornment and you want a metal guitar, and you are also a left handed guitarist, what are you going to do?
You are going to seek GASKELL GUITARS.
Gaskell Guitars makes left handed guitars only. We all know that now.
But how most left handed guitars for girls? Yes, yes yes.
We don’t discriminate between male and female at Gaskell Guitars.
We attain a Randy Rhoads V guitar in sensational PINK. (http://www.gaskellguitars.com/models/35-guitars/47-koru.html
This is the perfect guitar for any Rock Chick. There is no another guitar more suited. There is nothing “gay” most a pink coloured Heavy metal guitar. A pink Heavy metal guitar in the hands of a girl is COOL. On the another hand, there is everything “gay” most a pink Strat, or Tele or Les Paul, etc. Yuck!
Rock Chicks: you will not get left handed guitars easily in sensational pink by another brands. another brands don’t care most left handed guitarists! Gaskell Guitars has another “extreme” guitars on offer in sensational pink if you don’t fancy the Randy Rhoads call one. (http://www.gaskellguitars.com/models) A sensational pink extreme guitar looks awesome on a Rock chick (It needs to be a proper Rock/Metal guitar that everyone easily associates with that call of music.)
