Generally, there are fewer lefties. One of my favorite guitarists, Zacky Vengeance, is a lefty.

Because most people are right handed

I didnt know they were, but im guessing cuz they have to be specially made or something, which probably costs more

Guitars are the only instruments that are lefty. All other instruments are where lefties just play the normal way, and do not need it customized. That is exactly the reason they cost more, and that is exactly the reason you don't need one.

Because not many people play left handed guitar. They are "special "

Supply and demand not many left handed guitar players

Yeah I do not know I guess because a lot of left-handed people play guitar like a right-handed person would. I'm a lefty as well and I don't think I would play a guitar with my left-hand.

The "tooling " needed to carve the guitars is to expensive for ordinary people.
