Can righty play lefty righty?

[Cat]

Hey all, there is a Martin acoustic D16GTL model going for real cheap that I have been looking at and I mean reeeeeeeeeal cheap because, as you might have gathered from the model number, its a lefty.

Now this is a great model ie. solid spruce top, solid mahogany back and sides, a real Martin.

I have what will be probably a very simple question for our Martin/Acoustic geniuses here ATTN: NTBT and co.

Can I string a left handed Martin, right handed and play it with any kind of success?

Thanks guys,

Cat

I don't see why not. As far as I know a guitar is only a righty or lefty because of which side the cutaway is on (if it's a single cutaway) and the location of the controls. If none of that bothers you, go ahead and get it.:thumbsup:

Or change around the compensated saddle, if it has one.

It has no cut away. It has a slanted saddle but I dont know how you could change it round?
