My vote is now with Hagstrom. I was racking my brains for a quality guitar that had a bolt on neck and Billy Bird jolted my memory. |

your hands must be hurting after all that 'self backslapping' glw.
Lefties, i met a fellow the other day played a righthanded guitar in a left handed way with all the strings upside down, any special Forum for him?
now he would be as lonely as the Beagle lander.

Funnily enough, I have a friend who also plays that way ... strung right-handed but held lefth-handed. Guitar, bass and Stick. He's rather an exceptional bass player and even did a stint touring with Rick Wakeman. (His dream come true!) He could really get around the bass and his slapping technique was a wonder to behold. |

| I play guitar that way (OK, I'm rubbish) but my basses are strung correctly. I just got used to borrowing guitars from others that weren't my way. I seem to remember the rhythm player of late-70s Whitesnake did the same. If you watch "The Doves", their lefty plays a Precision upside, with the strings still as a righty. Eeewww, that's strange. |

| Also the bass tutor on the Musicians Channel on Sky TV plays a right handed bass turned upsidedown with the strings the wrong way around, maybe they are not as weird and rare as we think they are! |

I've seen him! All credit to the bloke, but, vital question; what purpose does he serve as a telly-teacher? He even makes my head spin. Can't work out what he's doing  |
