Re: (TV) Strats

Andrew -- you got me curious about "reverse stratocasters".

I asked a guitar tech I know about them, and he said that flipping the
headstock reverses the usual length (and thus the tension) of each
string, giving the guitar a distinctly different feel.

Would love to play one, especially one of these:

They are making these models called "60s reverse stratocasters" or something similar.? Basically it's Mexican Strat strung with a lefty neck and with the bridge pickup angled the other way, the point being that it's the Jimi Hendrix setup.? Eye opening.? The (smashing) "pumpkin chord" never sounded so good.? I think I need one.
