    Hello, new guy.

    Hello all. Just ordered a ST-1L. I'm right handed but broke my left wrist in the early 90s racing quads, and went around with a broken wrist for like 6.5 years. Had it repaired back then but have always wanted to try out a left handed guitar to see if perhaps it may be something I want to pursue, (ie, right hand dominant on the fretboard and left hand in a natural non bent position as I have pain just making that motion with my left wrist). I'm primarily a keyboard player since birth so I always wondered why am I not using the hand that can "shred" a piano hahah on the guitar? So it should be a fun experiment. Been working on guitars a lot in my life and have built some stuff so setting this up will be relatively straightforward.

    Hi Jason and welcome.

    A lot will be down to practice and getting the hands' muscle memory working.

    Good luck with the build.
