Looking for a left-handed Epiphone but unsure which Epiphone left handed guitars are currently available? Take a quick read through this article and all shall be revealed!
Epiphone was founded in 1873 by Anastasios Stathopoulos in Turkey and made its name by making fiddles and lutes. The company moved to the United States in 1903 where the business expanded its range of instruments and made a name for itself. Eventually in 1957 after a series of company strikes the brand was bought out by its main rival, Gibson Guitars.
Since 1961, the legendary Casino has been Epiphone’s best-selling archtop and a rock ‘n’ roll standard. First introduced in 1961, the Casino was just one of several new thinline archtops designed and produced at the company’s adopted new factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan that it shared with one-time competitor and new partner, Gibson. The Casino was adopted by Keith Richards of The.
It’s quite difficult to uncover left handed Epiphone guitars on the brand’s website as there is no longer a lefty section, so hopefully, this guide will help many of you out!

We’ll first look at the electric models, before moving on to acoustics, and then finally, basses.
At the very end I’ve also mentioned a few very special, limited edition models that you might not find anywhere else.
Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s Left Handed
The Les Paul Standard 50s is part of Epiphone’s new ‘Inspired by Gibson‘ series and aims to recreate the tone and feel of a 1950s Les Paul. So you won’t find any modern features such as coil-tapping or weight-relief here, just pure unadulterated vintage character and classic rock ‘n’ roll vibe!
Main features include a comfortable 50s rounded medium c neck, and a warm and resonant mahogany body with a maple top. Versatile Alnico ProBucker humbuckers offer up that classic rock ‘n’ roll growl when pushed, and clean up real nice when you lay back.
Superior appointments on this tone machine include vintage deluxe tuners, quality 50s-style CTS electronics and wiring, plus a LockTone ABR Tune-O-Matic bridge.
Here’s a great overview of the left handed Epiphone Les Paul Standard 50s from Shane over at InTheBlues.
Available left handed in Metallic Gold, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, and Vintage Sunburst finishes.
- Body : Mahogany (AAA Flame Maple Veneer on Figured Top Models)
- Neck : Mahogany 50s Rounded Medium C
- Fingerboard : Indian Laurel
- Pickups : ProBucker 1 & 2 Humbuckers
- Bridge : Tune-O-Matic

Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s Left Handed
The Les Paul Standard 60s is a very similar guitar to the model above albeit with 1960s styling and hardware.
One of the biggest differences between the two models is that the neck on the 60s model is slimmer than on the 50s guitar. This makes forming chords very comfortable, and it is ideal for unleashing smooth lead runs.
This model also features ProBucker 2 and 3 humbuckers using Alnico II magnets. These offer up a rich and warm sound with bell-like trebles and a tight bottom end. The iconic fat and snarling sounds of a Les Paul are available, with sustain for days!
Here’s a great video demonstration of the left handed Epiphone Les Paul Standard 60s from Shane over at InTheBlues.
Other premium appointments include quality CTS electronics, a LockTone ABR Tune-O-Matic bridge, and nickel Grover Rotomatic tuners.

Epiphone Les Paul Custom Left Handed

Era-appropriate appointments include a 60s style Kalamazoo headstock shape, 50s style wiring, quality CTS pots, and a rolled fingerboard for comfortable play. A set of Epiphone’s ProBucker humbuckers serve up full-fat Les Paul tones with plenty of clarity and bite.

These guitars feature the historic solid mahogany SG body shape and iconic ‘batwing’ scratchplate, as well as the original Kalamazoo headstock for that authentic and original look.
Other appointments include Epiphone Deluxe tuners, a comfortable slim taper neck, 60s style wiring, and quality CTS pots. Dual high-output Alnico Classic PRO humbucker helps serve up all of those authentic rock ‘n’ toll tones that the SG is so well known for.

Jack Casady Bass
Update August 2021. The bass is no longer listed on the Epiphone website, but it is still available in stores. Grab one soon if interested!
The left Handed Epiphone Jack Casady bass is currently the only southpaw bass that the brand offers. Epiphone bills it as the world’s most popular semi-hollow electric bass, and now we lefties can get our grubby southpaws on one!
A hollow cavity offers up that resonant acoustic thump, while the maple body helps brighten up the attack. The JCB-1 pickups were specially designed by Jack Casady and Epiphone to really highlight the natural bass tone while boosting clarity.
A huge range of tones are available thanks to the bass’s special VariTone control. This allows you to vary the impedance of the pickup from 50 to 500 ohms, allowing you to go from a full-fat tone to a thinner sound with tones of bite – and everything in between!
Available left handed in Metallic Gold.
- Body : Layered Maple
- Neck : Mahogany
- Fingerboard : Indian Laurel
- Pickups : JCB-1 Low-Impedance Humbucker
- Bridge : Tune-O-Matic
