Where to go for left handed guitars and left handed bass guitars? Part Four – lefty Iceman guitar

These days, with more and more major guitar manufacturers ceasing to make their products in left hand, one might well ask the question “where do I go for left-handed guitars and left-handed bass guitars these days?”

In actual fact, there are guitar and bass models that are popular with guitarists that you cannot get left handed at all. Some have never been available in left hand.

Fortunately there is one guitar brand in the world that makes left handed guitars and left-handed bass guitars only: Gaskell Guitars.

Gaskell Guitars (http://www.gaskellguitars.com) is from Australia, and was started by New Zealand-born left-handed guitarist Kevin Gaskell.

Gaskell Guitars is international renowned for “lefty guitars and basses, designed by a lefty, for lefties only.”

Gaskell makes guitars and basses that are otherwise not available in left hand option by original manufacturers. Here is another one in our series of articles on this subject:

Ibanez, a renowned Japanese guitar manufacturer that is strongly identified with excellent quality “superstrat” style guitars (Fender Strat style bodies with Floyd Rose tremolos) have a model called the Iceman. It is more widely known as a “Paul Stanley guitar” by the more casual guitarists.

Today, it has been re-popularized by Sam Totman, from Dragonforce.

It was designed by Ibanez and Greco working together in 1974. It was released in 1975 by Ibanez as the “Iceman” and by Greco as the “Mirage.” Greco sold theirs to the Japanese market only and Ibanez sold theirs internationally.

Even though it has been in and out of production for 35 years it has never been made in left hand by Ibanez!

Gaskell Guitars makes a left handed Iceman style guitar!

Gaskell’s is called the “Ice-Axe” and is inspired by the 1990′s version.

No matter where you live in the world you can get a Gaskell guitar or bass without too much hassle. And now you can get an Iceman style guitar for the first time!

I suggest you look at their website for more info. It is worth it! You will be surprised!

Left-handed guitars and left-handed basses only. Designed by a lefty, for lefties. How much more better than that can you get it?
