So As most of you know I play guitar but I'm left handed so it makes for hard selection when it comes to cheap guitars. The guitar I've got now is a left-handed gibson epiphone but I've also got an acoustic which is right-handed and I play it upside down, high-E on top. For some reason I find it easier to form chords. So I was thinking about taking my lefty body and putting a right-handed neck on it so that I will have half lefty and half righty. It'll be like playing a right-handed guitar but I wont have any knobs or anything in the way of my strumming hand. I don't know just seems like it might be neat.

Be sure to turn your pick-ups around as well!

Or he could keep the pickups on his guitar in the same position. Gritty highs, melting lows. Nice Hendrix sound. But then again, it's Hendrix's sound. Maybe you want your own?

Was this before or after i tried to plug my MIDI keyboard into my throat? Because even if it does fit, it does not guarantee that it will work.

quite safe to assume that if the guitar body's cheap the pickups won't be changing their sounds much if turned the other way...

I'm pretty sure the Fenders and Gibsons Hendrix used were pretty decent.

In Sheriff's case, depending on the model, Epiphones aren't that bad quality-wise. The wood is probably decent.

Anyways, it would be a cool experiment.
