Kris: moi? As i've said somewhere before, i'm both-handed, "natural" lefty (which means i can write and do other things with both hands - equally badly), so that probably means both sides of my brain are able to think... or, rather, unable to do so.

Howard, that picture of Pat could be me 15 years ago, when I was only 20! (

)

I played this one the same way (you can just see the 'lefty' strap button), and eventually sold if for the equivalent of $70!!!...

Incidently, it isn't me in the photo, it is wifey!

Howard, you should really get your son a lefty Ric. Peter might have one or two on hand and who knows, maybe he'll take one of your 350s as a trade-in.

Glad you pointed that out, Pete! If it was you in the photo I'd be suggesting you sue the pants of the surgeon who stuffed up the sex change operation!

Pat's interest in playing is rapidly waning, Rich.... to the point where he's selling off all but one of his lefties. I doubt that a Rick would fire him up again..... even though I have offered to buy him one a few times - if I could find one, that is!!

Have we had a "Post photos of your Lefty Rics" thread?

I knew there had to be more of us around, Tim. An aside: Several years ago, we had in our string band 4 musicians, three of whom were left handed, and played their instruments, fiddle, banjo, and string bass right handed. The poor guitarist was right handed. Of course we all gave him a ration about the rest of us being in our right minds.
