    Its both :) its default settings are right, but in options section you can turn it onto left and just turn the guitar around. There are also different places for the strap to attach to to make it more comfy for a lefty :)

    Also if your playing with a friend there is a fast option while in play to just flip the fret board so its really nicely designed.

    The guitars are right handed. You can turn on lefty flip to play left handed but your whammy bar will be on the top of the guitar instead of the bottom.

    The whammy bar being at the top works in the lefty's favour - you can cradle the whammy during ordinary play with a bare minimum of effort, you never have to go reaching for it when there's a long held note coming. I'm left handed, I have no problem playing with the Wiitar, have a couple of lefty friends who are the same. That said, your les paul is upside down which looks a bit ****e.

    A friend of mine who is also a lefty has no problems with the righty guitar upside down. In fact she has the bar positioned so that she can push it down with her forearm while she's strumming. :)

    VR!

    a little tip, if your right handed and you want to do the career left handed, just look at the t.v through a mirror. it works

    Yup, thats how I got the achievement for clearing the career on lefty mode, played through easy while looking at the TV through the reflection on my laptop screen. Bit awkward but once you get used to it its fine.
