Right so I'm thinking it's about time I actually buy a proper acoustic guitar. So anyone can help me out pretty please? I'm sure there are like websites for selling music instruments and stuff and I'm sure you guys know more about that stuff than I do.

ps - I'm playing left hand so that's why I'm having a little bit of trouble finding one.

http://www.chrisguitars.com rocks, but there's not so much in the "leftys" section: http://www.chrisguitars.com/lefty.html

If you haven't been playing guitar very long I'd strongly advise to stop and turn the guitar around. My left handed friend plays right handed guitar with no problems. It's not a skill that requires one hand be stronger than the other. Left handed guitars are more expensive and hard to find.

Thankyou for the website tip.
I haven't been playing THAT long but I know there's no way I could play right hand.

Probably best to just find a good lefty guitar than play right handed. I can get up to shred level alternate picking speeds now but my left handed friend can't get anywhere near that because his right handed picking hand is so week as he's naturally left handed. He's been playing for 3 times as long as me too.

You can get really good legato playing the wrong way though.
