PRS Body Shape Question

[John_L]

Are left handed PRS' a different shape to the right handed ones? I only ask because all the lefty PRS' I see look wrong, not just because the are the other way around but just weird. Normally a guitar doesn't look wrong just because it's a southpaw. I even caught myself looking at a ESP strat with out realising it was a left hooker. But the lefty PRS 24 looked like the wrongest thing I'd seen in a while.

Looks OK to me: (attached image is a left-handed PRS, that I rotated in PowerPoint to envision it if it were made right-handed. Source link here.)

That is good old fashioned "left-handed-guitars look wrong-itis," not a new, PRS-specific disorder :laughing:

Re: PRS Body Shape Question

yeah, all lefty guitars look wrong.

don't worry though, it's just cuz left handed people are actually aliens and we have to make guitars different to account for their wildly different physiology.

If by 'Aliens' you actually mean a superior race come to take over the world, rustle your women and rape your cattle then yes, you are correct.

And YOU look wrong. :28:

y'know the greek word for "left" was Sinistros? That's the origin of the word sinister...

during the dark ages, left-handed children were thought to be sinister agents of satan. i am not making this up and it's my favorite form of prejudice in history.

In chemistry, left-hand rotation of molecules is also refered to as sinister.

Re: PRS Body Shape Question

Blixa Bargeld, Gary Moore, Wilko Johnston and many others are all southpaws who play the guitar right handed. Are there any right handers who play lefty?
In golf Phil Mickleson is a righty who plays left handed.

I write right-handed and play guitar left-handed.

Hendrix is a slightly more famous example.

Re: PRS Body Shape Question

I thought Jimi was naturally left handed but was forced to write right handed at school and then became more or less ambidextrous. He was written about in medical journals while he was a paratrooper.
