I have spent my day refurbing A lovely little "Pro 1" Lefty
I know it sounds a daft ? but I could swear the Bass strings were on the far side when you sit in the playing position surely this cannot be right ?? Maybe a mistake by the previous owner? It blows my mind trying to think about how to play a left handed guitar but if you have to have the strings the wrong way around as well???!!!
Please tell me A lefty player would still have the heavy strings nearest the tummy before I get my Axe out   |

Of course. Nothing should be any different when stringing up the guitar.

Thank you Richard that of course is what I was thinking but I am sure they were the wrong way around when it came in...
maybe the guy was some sort of contortionist ? It was probably 30 years ago that the crime was committed but it looks nice now and Lloyd signed it underneath in 03 ! |
