Next week I will receive the Double Neck Pedal Steel Guitar that I had made for me because I am left handed. It's took 7 1/2 months to build, that should be interesting trying to play that! Pity you couldn't do what Jimi Hendrix did and turn a right handed one upside down! Regards, Charlie

As did the great Dick Dale, Charlie!
From an interview I saw on Youtube recently, back in the day he was asked why he had it upside down and said I thought they were all made that way!
Don't you just love it! LOL
Regards
Gary

Even in the early day's trying to learn chords that were all 'back to front' it was like looking in a mirror. Regards, Baz.

I'm left handed too, but I have always played guitars right handed. Regards, Charlie

I’m also left handed and have always played right handed. It might be because in my early teens I played “Tennis Racquet” guitar - right handed - consequently when I started to learn to play guitar I played it the same way. Dave

I always thought that it would make more sense to have the more nimble and dexterous fingers on the neck, so guitars were obviously designed the wrong way round right from the start. At least that's my excuse, being right handed, for not being that good a player
