Converting the handedness of a guitar?

Question

Is this easy or should i get it done by someone else?

Price either way?

cos my current left handed is too small, my dad wanted to play guitar but he dropped it so we've got a fairly decent right handed acoustic lying around, so how could i convert it?

And does anyone want to buy the 3/4 left handed guitar? blue acoustic, nobrand, pickup from the northern suburbs of wollongong, nsw, aus, $50 or best offer, Cheers, jesse

Answer 1

Depending on the shape of your guitar's body, I imagine that all you have to do is reverse the 'strings' don't you?  It shouldn't be "Rocket Science".

OR

does your guitar have a 'cut out' to reach the higher chords/frets?

If your guitar has the cut out I've mentioned.....you're stuffed and can't be played if you're any good.  If you're a beginner, it will be ok to 'fool around' with for a while.

Sorry, I'm not in the market - I have 3 guitars already.

Answer 2

Its acoustic so all you have to do is change the strings which is relatively easy. I would get a book to see how to do it for your guitar but I had no trouble with mine.
