Any Jimi Hendrix fans here

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.

Hey Joe...where you going with that gun in your hand ?

And Jimi was blessed with long fingers too.

Cue the Star Spangled Banner.

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

Wave on.........

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...

and lyrics rolled out of his head much like his fingers strolled the frets

[/ QUOTE ] That just may have had something to do with what he was putting in his eye.
