"One option that hasn't been discussed yet (except for the passing mention of Hendrix) is that a lefty can learn to play a standard right-handed guitar left-handed (did you follow that?). In other words, the lefty can hold the guitar as if it were a left-handed guitar, and can finger the chords on the fretboard with his right hand." SharonA

I hope you're not suggesting that this is what Hendrix did. He used a right handed guitar alright, but restrung it lefty. This helped contribute to his tone and timbre on the Strat particularly as the strings are then reversed in relation to the bridge pickup. I imagine when he was buying guitars, lefty ones were few and far between, worse than even now. Fwiw, there are some cool Hendrix videos at YouTube.

I played for a number of years with a guitarist who didn't restring a righty guitar and played it lefty. His style was inventive, his sound often unique, especially fingerstyle, but the stretches and chord shapes often uncomfortable and learning materials virtually non-existent. I wouldn't recomment it.

Peace, Mooh.
