there are NO lefthanded guitars from luthiers or factories, When a dealer refers to a "left-handed guitar," he means that the factory will construct it that way – nut, saddle, fingerboard, etc. So there are in fact left-handed guitars from factories. I have sold plenty of them, and I listed several on my earlier post. With respect to a luthier building a "left-handed guitar," I'll let the luthiers on the Foro answer that. With respect to a lefty playing left-handed or right – I recently had gotten to wondering why a righty doesn't play left handed, my reasoning being that the fretting hand requires more strength than the plucking hand, so why not have the dominant hand on the fingerboard. This of course would be the exact reverse of the subject at hand (no pun). So I had asked that question on the Delcamp classical site. The responses were very interesting, and obviously relevant to this thread. http://www.delcamp.us/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=48529&p=522742#p522742 (When the link takes you to the thread, you have to scroll up to the top of the page for my original post)
