Handed Acoustic
What are some good right handed acoustic guitars that are cheap and easy to flip for left handed playing?
Preferably where the nut and bridge dont need to be flipped. Thanks
Do not do it under any circumstances. Acoustic guitars are braced asymmetrically since the bass strings exert more tension than the treble strings. Reverse the strings and the guitar will warp and be ruined sooner or later. If you don’t reverse the nut and the saddle the intonation will be terrible. Even if you do flip the saddle the intonation will still be off since the saddle is never exactly perpendicular to the strings and the extra B string compensation will be in the wrong direction.
If you don’t already know how to play, learn to play right handed. Many lefties do that and it’s a smart thing to do. Each hand has an important task to do and if anything fretting is more important. You would be fretting with your dominant hand, a distinct advantage. Plus, there are many more right handed guitars available.
Many companies, like Martin, charge the same for a left handed model. If you insist on playing lefty then just buy a left handed guitar. Don’t ruin a perfectly good guitar. Good luck.
Edited to add:
Here’s a nice picture of the bracing on the inside of the top of a good acoustic guitar:

As you can see, it’s asymmetrical.
