Hi

I wonder if anybody could help me

Does anybody know of a company that could provide me with a electric ukulele that is suitable for a left hander

I would like a small electric guitar look rather than a restrung right handed traditional style Uke

Maybe the Epiphone Les Paul concert acoustic electric. Mine is a great little electric acoustic, can't see why it would not make a good left hand Uke.

Where are you located? There are some concert sized Epiphone SG styled electric ukes out there made by Laka, perhaps some more. Still have to switch strings, perhaps nut around:

Amazon US carries Aileen...same instrument: http://www.amazon.com/Aileen-style-Electric-Ukulele-Black/dp/B00CC0H1JE

In UK sells under the Laka name.

Steel string or nylon? What's your budget? Blue Star Guitar makes a great steel string for $300-400 depending on what custom touches you want

I love the epiphone electric guitar looking ukes but they are all right handed and turning them makes them look odd. . I am in the uk

Mine is the vintage sunburst without the pick guard, it actually looks pretty good when you turn it. The 1/4 inch input would be under your left arm but with a right angle jack would work OK.
