I have a job at a festival in about two hours. I cut the strings off my E9 neck so I could put fresh ones on, but the only set I have are left hand Jagwires. I don't have much time, is there a way I can use these? Thanks.

Hi Howard

Nice one, LOL, considering the message was posted so early you must be on stage at 10 am.

Solution to your problem !!! yeah

String as normal and sit the other side of the guitar.

Have a nice day.

Howard. You need to return those back here right away! Those were experimental prototypes and must have gotten sent out by mistake. We'll send you an ambridextrious set so you wan't have that problem next time.

The string is actually the same as right hand except the ball is on the wrong end. There is plenty of extra length to cut the ball off and twist in on the other end. Probably a 5 minute job per string if you have a sharp pair of side cutters and a decent pair of right handed warplars.

I think this one is problably headed for a move to "Humor"

Just hold your bar with your right hand and pick with your left, You'll get used to your arms crossed. I think this technique is called cross picking.
