How many on the BJF Forum are lefty players?

I saw bsic's photo and it made me wonder (as I'm a lefty as well).
Just curious.
I'm a mutant hybrid i.e. I play left handed
cs '56 strat, cs '57 tele, heritage H-170
right handed strung.
i.e. a lefty righty.
any other lefty players (traditional or otherwise?)
My SBEQ is sometimes a left footer.

Wait a minute... so you have all left handed guitars but you play them right-handed? Or you play them left-handed but strung backwards? I think I'm confused.

What led you to this insanity?

And why are they all on a tramopoline

Started playing as a kid-
encourgaed and shown basic chords by my right handed brother
on his right handed guitar.
brought my first steel string acoustic as a teenager playing a right handed guitar upside down.
I did reverse the strings and nut for about 2 years-
then went back to just playing it as a normal right handed guitar played upside down-
it was a muscle memory/ comfort thing.
I was acoustic and blues forever.

When I got into electric guitar (YEARS later),
It was really difficult finding anything left handed in Australia.
The strat and tele were gold for me- both great cs guitars.
The Heritage I found this year from a guy in the states who played the same way I do.


I think guys like him and me just grew used to muscle memory.
Dick dale, Doyle Bramhall, (very over rated in my opinion),
Even Bob Geldof (not known as a guitarist plays that way).

I still think left handed guitars just look wrong!!!!
It's the same way you pick up a tennis racket, bat, etc.
Perhaps without a right handed guitar around,
I probably would have just been a traditional lefty.

And why are they all on a tramopoline

I just like the black background for contrast
and one photo- not neck- body-head etc.....................................................





- ok...sometimes I slam dunk while playing,
more air,
but broken springs and strings when you get carried away!

Saw Dick Dale, here, in NYC in the '90s. Amazing player, and when the set was done, he hung out with the fans who stayed behind. I think I have an autograph somewhere..
Nice guitars, guys.
And, I'm a righty
