The left handed guitar is basically a reversed, or mirrored image of a regular right handed guitar. The guitar strings are just reversed. The downside is that left handed guitars tend to cost a little more than a regular guitar. You have your choice of many styles and manufacturers though.

Until recently it was hard to find a nice left handed guitar and one that you actually liked. Now more online store carry left handed guitars.

If you are learning to play the guitar and are left handed it will be a little hard to learn because of the lack of teachers that teach left handed. If you find one book them early because they tend to get booked fast.
