Dear Music Store Guy—I asked you if you had any left-handed guitars, to which you responded, “Yeah, we keep them with the left-handed drums and the left-handed pianos.” You then proceeded to tell me that left-handed people just play right-handed like everyone else, and you said this with an attitude that almost seemed to imply that you think being left-handed is “all in my head.” For the record, I learned to play guitar right-handed, and it never felt comfortable, so I switched to a lefty guitar, which made a world of difference. Also, I forgot to mention something while I was there: Jimi Hendrix? Kurt Cobain? Oh, and then you made some little joke about how I should go get one at the “Leftorium,” and when I made a quip going along with your dumb joke you felt the need to explain to me that it’s from The Simpsons, like I’m some idiot. I’m fucking left-handed, do you really think I’ve never heard of Flanders’ Leftorium? It’s okay, I know you are just jealous because left-handed people are more creative, and better in bed.-Anonymous

i cannot think of anything stupider in a down economy than being an ass to your customers. give the jerk what he deserves – a layoff notice – by going to another store.

So, the music store guy is a jerk like numerous other “service” industry employees in PDX. “Quel surprise!” (Sideshow Bob Terwilliger)
Unless it’s an electric, isn’t a left-handed guitar just a right-handed guitar with the strings reversed?
That said, the clerk was an asshole. Maybe he just didn’t want to admit he didn’t know the answer yet.
That someone would actually act this way seems so surreal like in some comedy movie or something
Was this at Showcase Music by chance? Those guys are complete douchebags.

Go easy on music store jerk, he’s only had the job for a week and he’ll be gone by the next – he probably doesn’t even know that there is such a thing as a left handed guitar. He probably can’t read, do his own laundry, move away from his mom’s house, or drive a car either.
In other words, complain to the store manager and hope he loses his job, someone more deserving could probably use it.
Anonymous has some hangups. I like that. He/Merc was trolled.
to convert a right handed guitar to a left- the bridge and nut have to be replaced, and the neck readjusted and a pick guard placed on the opposite side. It can be done, but really just getting a left guitar is easier. I play right handed but Trade up always seems to have a few leftys whenever I am there….
This alleged story about the guy who allegedly mouthed-off when you allegedly asked for a lefty guitar?
It just sounds made up…
Does ‘I, Anonymous’ have an investigator on staff? An ombudsman of some sort, to look into the veracity of this sort of thing? Something to think about…
its 100% true. why would it be made up? that would be a random ass thing to make up. the guy was a total jerk.
