My wife wants to learn. She is left handed. All my guitars are standard. She is 44 years old. Do I make her learn standard guitar since she has no preconceived notions, or do I buy her an inexpensive left handed guitar.

A knowledgable man at "guitar center" told me to teach her on the right handed guitar. My father who has been playing 40 years cited folks like paul mcCartney and adamantly claims that a lefty deserves a left handed guitar. A local guitar teacher said it could go either way.

What is the end all answer here. I want to do the right thing...but if she learns on right, then she can play all my guitars.
