Whilst you CAN order a LH guitar from most stores, the opportunity to "test drive" a guitar is largely reduced for left handed people. i.e. You pays your money, you takes your chances" whereas a typical right handed player sees a guitar that looks nice, there's a 99% chance that he can test it and then buy it because it has already been "converted" for his use.
FWIW: I do believe that Left Handed musicians can have some advantage over the average owing to the fact that the world largely caters to Right Handed people and, as such southpaws have had to develop their right hand to a greater extent than those of us who are naturally Right handed have to develop out left. They are, therefore, more dexterous in their right hand than we are in our left.
