What US made practice amp to get for new American Strat?

"Are any of you guys leftys that play right handed? If I got him a righty, it would def be the American Special Mahogany Strat HSS, but I just do not know if his right hand would have (or acquire) the dexterity needed to play well. I know I wouldn't like to play lefty, but maybe it would be easier to play weak handed when learning?"

i'm not left-handed so i'm not an expert, but it seems to me that learning to play the guitar is pretty difficult either way (not impossible or anything tho). if he's a rank beginner, it seems to me it would be just about as simple to learn right-handed. playing right-handed will make his future guitar-buying life alot simpler, for sure.

i don't want to be discouraging, but the kind of music he seems to be interested in, it's gonna be awhile (like, several years) before he can do much of that stuff.

 

If he likes metal check out some of the Randall low end SS amps. They offer nice tight controlled distortion and clean channels as well as a MIDI (solidly built) foot switch for effects and boost control.
