This left-handed National M-1 Tricone resophonic guitar delivers the unmistakable sound of a Tricone with the warmth of wood. The lightweight laminated mahogany body is highlighted by a sturdy wood sound well and hand-painted steel cover plate. The mahogany neck clears 12 frets to the body and features an ivoroid-bound ebony fretboard complete with inlaid [...]

Here's a brand-new National Resophonic El Trovador, single cone resonator in mahogany. National's build quality is, as always, off the charts and I love these round neck resonators that are equally at home with a slide or a flatpick. I'll let National describe it: "Its Spanish name translates as “The Troubador,” and this wood-body single-cone [...]

Terrific guitar. Made in the USA. Two-year warranty and a hardshell case. National sez: "Raw Series instruments have a minimal, wax body [...]

The NRP Steel Tricone features the classic styling of the vintage Tricones but with a special sound. The tone of the steel body offers a deeper, darker voice — yet with more immediacy and presence. And it still boasts all the amazing sustain and rich choral tone the Tricones are famous for. The steel body and coverplate [...]

The first steel body single cone National Resophonic Triolian dates back to 1929 and was offered in two finishes -- more common walnut and the coveted polychrome yellow. This is a 2010 reissue sporting the polychrome yellow finish, complete with the traditional sunset scene painted on the back, custom 1 3/4 nut, round neck, 12 frets, [...]

About Lefty Guitars Only

Lefty Guitars Only is an authorized dealer for Blackbird, Collings, Duesenberg USA, Fender Custom Shop, Froggy Bottom Guitars, Huss and Dalton, George Lowden Guitars, Gretsch, National Resophonic, Paul Reed Smith, PRS Private Stock, Santa Cruz Guitar Company, Scott Walker Guitars and James Trussart Custom Guitars.

Forty years ago, I picked up an old nylon-string classical guitar that had been gathering dust in our house in New York. Instinctively, I picked it up left-handed. I immediately figured out an approximation of a G chord and was hooked.

Like many of you, I’ve spent my life envying right-handed players who can walk into a large music store and choose between dozens of high-end instruments, while we are lucky to find a $200 lefty Fender hanging next to all those Martins and Gibsons. A 2011 trip to New York City and a visit to a dozen music stores yielded exactly two Martin guitars in a cramped, crowded store, with no opportunity to evaluate the instruments. There had to be a better way.

I’m an authorized dealer for some builders lefties are familiar with, and I want to introduce some new luthiers to my fellow lefties. I’m starting out small, but hope to grow. The way I see it, the more lefty instruments that are built and available to the community, the better off we all are. The guitars live in a secure climate and humidity controlled space.

Since opening the doors in late 2011, I’ve provided thousands of lefties to satisfied customers worldwide, and made a lot of friends in the process.

In my spare time, I am the creative director for a non-profit cooking magazine for kids called ChopChop, I write and record original music, and, for fun, play lead guitar in a Boston band. Guitars have always been a part of my life, and I hope I can help find you an instrument to enhance yours. – Best, Vic
