And here was me thinking all strings were right handed!

Wow that makes no sense! Surely it doesn't matter? I mean.. strings are the same no matter which direction they face, aren't they? o.o

Someone obviously trying to make a few quid from selling strings to somebody who knows no better.

and did you notice how the picture on the front of the packet is of a right-handed guitar.

Nah, you see they fit left handed tuners better.

AH!!! But what if I have a reverse headstock? That uses left hand tuners... MY BRANE!

Doctor J · 20-09-2004 9:27am

Then you better invest in some left handed strings... I think

I always thought there was something different about restringing my reverse headstock. Now I know. I was using the wrong strings!

*Smacks head*

Don't feel so bad. In tests, under laboratory conditions, eight out of ten right handed Jimi Hendrix impersonators made the same mistake

Good job I don't play any Hendrix* then!

*Due to lack of skill
