Many of us who have desperately tried to find something different, something beyond the same basic three-pickup, double cutaway design have often thrown our hands up out of frustration that there's not much out there for us beyond a black Fender Stratocaster. Luckily, with the decisions of a few guitar companies we've been able to see a few guitars in white, sunburst, or maybe even red or blue.
We could always visit a custom shop or a special luthier and have them make whatever we want, the downside being a price that many of us cant afford. So, injured but not defeated, we surf our way through as many web sites as possibly, trying to find that new or different guitar.
Introduce Adirondack Guitars.
Founded by Dennis Monahan and located in Hudson Falls, New York, Adirondack Guitars may carry one of the largest selections of left handed guitars in the nation - of course, there are others that carry lefty guitars, but that's not the point here. At last count, Adirondack Guitars website had
32 Different Brands of electric, left handed guitars. Big name retailers don't even touch that number.
On top of that, they have 21 brands of left handed Electric Bass Guitars. They even carry left handed Banjos, Mandolins and Ukuleles!
Their new website, ADKguitar.com, is well laid out and easy to follow. Just hover your cursor over the "Guitar" button and you'll see Lefty as one of the options. From there, you can customize your search.
From funky to traditional, they've got it. Danelectro Longhorn Bass? Got one! Late 70's Fender P-bass? They've got one of those, too.
While they may not carry major label brands such as Fender or Gibson(Though they may have some in the used section, they have unique choices, such as Italia, Heritage, Airline, and Airline's parent company, Eastwood. Also of possible interest are brands such as Dean, Dillion, Crafter, D'angelico, and Teye. And with 32 brands of left handed guitar, they also have a wide range of guitars for various budgets, from the $149 Indiana S-style guitar to the mid-priced D'angelico, Airline, Schecter and Reverend Guitars to high-end G&L models, GJ2, Angry Angus, Heritage and Teye Brands.
In regards to shipping, they offer free shipping on orders over $287 (excluding large amplifiers) and they also claim to work with a variety of different shipping companies to find you the best shipping for any sort of special case that you may have. Finally, Adirondack Guitars sells Amps as well, a wide variety at that. Most every amp is used, which, when considered, is fine.
Why not take a look at ADKGuitar.com and see what you find? Something unique, maybe!
