Comparison Yamaha PAC112JL vs Yamaha PAC112J

Instruments originally intended for left-handers — more precisely, for musicians who play with a reverse, “left-handed” grip, when the right hand clamps the frets, and the left produces sound.

Electric guitars usually have an asymmetric arrangement of control elements (tone block controls, tremolo lever, etc.), and often also an asymmetric body shape. Accordingly, for comfortable playing with a reverse grip, it is not enough to rearrange the strings in reverse order and turn the instrument with the fingerboard to the right — a non-standard body arrangement can make using the instrument at least inconvenient, if not impossible. Thus, many manufacturers produce specialized left-handed models; such instruments have a “mirror” layout and allow you to fully play with a left-handed grip.
