Hendrix could play a right handed guitar, right handed, or, GET THIS, a
right handed guitar normally strung left handed (with the strings "upside
down"). I find that simply AMAZING. Of course, he normally played a
right handed guitar left handed with nut and strings reversed.

Claptons current rythem player plays upside down left handed. Same way. On
his strat the bottom part opposite the pickguard is worn considerably, but
man that guy (Whos name escapes me at the moment) can play.
