Where can I get a left handed acoustic guitar in Seoul? It's just for playing around at home, so i don't want anything expensive.

try Youngsan electronics Mall on the 5th floor.

They have opened up a fairly large area for music stores only, lots of guitars, drums, painos, wind and brass instruments.
Im sure you will find what you want.

I'll take a look. I hope their prices are reasonable. I am not looking for something expensive.

Your best bet is to get a right handed guitar, buy a new nut cut for a lefty and restring it. And I know your plight. You see, I too am a lefty.

When I've browsed on auction.co.kr I'll find (I was looking for basses but I imagine guitars too) right handed ones going for 100k-300k (got mine for 90k!!) while the cheapest left handed one was 700k.

For guitars in general I would recommend that place in Insadong. Never can remember the name of it and it's not important. It's the big building that straddles the street next to Old People's Park (watch out, they are some mean drunks). Last time I went I saw one left handed guitar, electric, and it was a decent deal, about 500k for a highly sought after guitar. That was one left handed guitar in a good couple hundred.

Changing the nut and strings costs about 20k total. It's what I'm doing with my newly bought bass.
