A single cut, LP style guitar was really the last guitar I ever thought I would have to make for the left handed market... until I had a good hard look in 2010 at what was available. I was surprised at how worse it has become for lefties who want a decent LP style guitar today!
My research showed that even though other brands make left handed LP style guitars, 99% of them are entry-level guitars that are ok for beginners only and many would better serve as wall ornaments in a cafe or bar!
Using the same engineering and templates of our Custom shop model the Gaskell ROCKIT is now available as a factory-made guitar too, aimed at the semi-pro and professional guitarist looking for something in the sub $1000 range. The Gaskell ROCKIT is a proper carved top guitar, using solid maple over a genuine mahogany body, with Wilkinson hardware, and comes with a free gig bag or optional hard shell case. Other optional extras are EMG pickups, and our Platinum Setup.
The Gaskell ROCKIT is the ultimate LP style, single cut "Rock" guitar - and for left handed guitarists only.
