Lefties in Calgary

I haven't been there in few months, but I vaguely recall Guitar Center on McLeoad trail having a section for lefty electrics. (I only noticed as they had more than a couple)

Maybe call around first?

ummm I just happened to have this ad open ..

You will see some lefties--but often only a handful.
I know the L&M locations have a lefty section--but it's not always labelled--and sometimes they're mixed in.
I'd say calling around may help.
L&M (3 locations), Axe & Guitar Works (4 locations if you count the Cross Iron Mills Mall location near Balzac)--and maybe Vintage.
there are some others, but I haven't been to them in a while--so I can' say.
I find Music Centre Canada a waste of time, personally--but if they have lefties--hey --check them out.

Thanks guys. I might check out the L&M's and Vintage.

The guys up in Saskatoon told me they try to carry as many lefties as they can. Thats where I found my SG and it is probably the nicest lefty I've played all together.

I know. Its a shame as I have one a minute from my house. I've never found anything I could use there including strings, picks or tubes. The selection sucks. They do stock Music Man which is cool and Duecenburg guitars which I usually love. Sales guy was insulted that I pointed out a 3500$ Duece was unplayable.

Even when they have stuff I use it eitehr has no price or the price is high.
I've also seen fake Gibsons there among the used guitars--although that was a few years back

I just got back from Calgary. No luck. Stopped at L&M in the north and they had the same lefties I see all over the place. Vintage Music wasn't open when we showed up there either.

Give the manager of the NE Calgary L&M a call (Larry)
He has a knack for finding just what you need.
Had a friend looking for a CS 50's Tele that "had to be just right" Larry found him a baby blue & blonde that fit the bill.
May take him a few weeks, but, the guy knows his stuff.


Best mediocre guitarist in Calgary.
