"Jimi Hendrix played a right handed Stratocaster which was strung with the strings opposite to what a right handed player would use, so, playing left handed , the bass E string was still nearest to the floor OK ?" Huh? I don't know much about Hendrix, but if he played a strat with the strings changed around, wouldn't the low E be on top, just like for a righty? I mean, he plucked with his left hand and fretted with the right, right? So he was playing left-handed. A restrung guitar, played left-handed, would have the low E string "on top." I'm going online to look at Hendrix concert pictures. I'll be right back. ... It looks from this photo that he has the small strings closer to the floor than the heavy ones -- so the guitar is re-strung from right-hand playing. So he used a re-strung guitar, played left-handed. Bob
