You will need to be left handed, and play it upside down. That's how he played.
Belair will claim he knew that, but he didn't.

Yes, he was left handed and the guitar body is upside down, however it is strung properly with the bass strings on top for a lefty.

Doughnutblue is correct, The idea that he played a right handed guitar "left handed" without restringing it for a left hander is a total myth...while Hendrix did indeed play a right handed strat upside down, it was simply because he was left handed. His guitars were strung the same way any left handed guitar would be strung.

That is correct. To bad he was the closer at Woodstock. Alot of people had already bailed.

Never was a sunburst fan myself, but I'll give that one it's props due to it's previous owner! But for that price, my Lemans blue Strat is looking better by the minute...

All this Hendrix talk makes me wanna' put on "Manic Depression" and crank it up to 11. (Most stereos only go up to 10. Mine goes to 11.)

Jimi dug his toys too. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

I know there is a pic of Jimi somewhere with him sitting in a 68-69 Corvette. You can only see the door and the mirror. Mr.70 or someone who is always looking up these weird pics find it! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif
