Re: Beginner Question: Very Confused

Jimi didn't find it too awkward and SRV found a left handed bridge so
that his whammy would be on top. Also, Doyle Bramhall, JR. plays a
right handed guitar left handed without flipping the strings. I tried
it on a left handed guitar and all I've got to say is that his brain
must be wired differently than most peoples. It made my head hurt
trying to figure out how to finger chords.
