Looking for a Taylor acoustic built for left-handed playing? Southpaw Guitars’ Taylor left-handed acoustic collection currently lists 68 products, from compact Baby Taylor and GS Mini models to full-size acoustic-electrics, nylon-string guitars, and premium options.
One quick note: 68 is the number of listings in the collection, not a promise that every guitar is available to ship today. Some listings are marked sold out, and stock can move quickly. Check the live collection for current availability and pricing.
Whether you’re buying your first guitar or adding a new sound to your setup, the best left handed acoustic guitar is the one that feels comfortable and suits the music you want to play. Here’s a practical guide to choosing yours.
Taylor left-handed acoustics for different players
Compact guitars for travel, smaller hands, or a first serious guitar
A smaller body can be comfortable to hold at home, on the road, or during longer practice sessions. It can also be a useful choice for players who find a full-size body unwieldy.
- Taylor Baby BT1 Left-Handed, $449.99: A compact, straightforward acoustic to consider for a first serious guitar or a portable second instrument.
- Taylor Baby BT1-e Left-Handed, $549.00: A Baby Taylor option with electronics for players who want to plug in.
- Used Taylor 110 Left-Handed, $449.00: A used entry in the collection for shoppers looking for a Taylor at a lower price.
GS Mini models for portability and everyday playing
The GS Mini range is worth a look if you want a compact guitar that’s easy to take along. The collection includes several finishes and price points:
- GS Mini-e Mahogany, $649.99, reduced
- GS Mini Camo: $699.00
- GS Mini-e Rosewood SB: $799.99
- GS Mini-e Special Floral: $899.99
- Used GS Mini HOU-1 Houston Astros Baseball Edition: $599.99
If you’re comparing these for a first guitar, think about how you’ll use it. A simple acoustic can be a good fit for home practice, while an “e” model may suit you better if you plan to connect to amplification. The used Astros edition is a distinctive option, but check its live listing for condition details and availability.
Full-size guitars for a versatile, familiar feel
If you mostly play at home, accompany a singer, or want a fuller-size instrument, compare these collection listings:
- Taylor 24ce solid sapele: $599.99
- Taylor 214ce Rosewood: $999.00
- Taylor 214ce Nylon: $999.99
- Taylor 214ce Plus: $1,499.99
- Taylor 414ce Studio: $2,199.99
These models cover several price points and configurations. Read each listing closely for its materials and features, and consider whether you want an acoustic-only guitar or an acoustic-electric you can plug in.
Premium and specialty options
For players shopping at the upper end of the collection, or looking for a specific configuration, current listings include:
- Taylor Next Generation 314ce 2026 model: $2,499.00
- Taylor 314ce Reverse Strung: $2,499.00
- Taylor 412ce NOS: $2,499.00
- Taylor 322ce 12-fret Grand Concert: $2,599.99
- Taylor Gold Label 517e: $2,799.00
- Taylor T5z Koa Classic thinline: $2,799.99
- Taylor New Generation 712ce 12-fret: $3,399.00
These are not all the same kind of guitar. For example, the T5z Koa Classic is a thinline option, while the 322ce and 712ce listings identify 12-fret models. Compare the individual listing details and choose based on the feel, configuration, and sound you want, not price alone.
Looking for 12 strings or nylon strings?
The collection also has options for players who want a different feel or sound:
- Taylor 150ce 12-string left-handed dreadnought, $999.99: A 12-string choice for players who want that fuller, doubled-string sound.
- Taylor 212ce Plus Nylon glossy classical with Aero case, $1,399.99: A nylon-string classical option.
Buying guide: how to choose a Taylor left-handed acoustic
1. Start with body size and comfort
A compact guitar can be easier to carry and may feel more comfortable if a larger body gets in your way. A full-size guitar may be a better fit if that’s the feel you’re used to or you want a larger instrument in your hands. If possible, try sitting and standing with your shortlist. Comfort matters during a quick test, and even more during a long practice session.
2. Use tonewoods as a guide, not a rule
The collection includes listings with names such as sapele, mahogany, rosewood, and koa. These labels can help you compare instruments, but your ears and hands are the final test. Listen to the guitars if you can, and check each product page for the exact construction details rather than assuming that every model in a series is identical.
3. Choose steel or nylon for the music you play
Steel strings are a common choice for strumming, pop, folk, and singer-songwriter music. Nylon strings are often chosen for classical repertoire and players looking for that style of feel and sound. The 214ce Nylon and 212ce Plus Nylon listings are purpose-named nylon options in this collection. If you’re not sure, tell us what you like to play and we can help you compare.
4. Decide whether you need electronics
If you’ll play through an amp or PA, look for an acoustic-electric model and confirm the electronics in its listing. That can make a difference for rehearsals, open mics, and gigs. If you’ll mostly play at home, you may prefer to focus on how the guitar sounds and feels unplugged.
5. Set a budget, then compare your finalists
The collection spans from the $449 Baby BT1 and used Taylor 110 to premium models above $3,000. Decide on a comfortable budget first. Then compare a few guitars within it, checking whether each one is new or used, whether it has electronics, and what comes with the instrument. A more expensive guitar isn’t automatically the right one for your playing.
