BAZZER 10 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 The reason the Rickenbacker looks upside down is because it's a right handed one and Paul is left handed, not many left handed Rick's about, similar to Jimi Hendrix with his right handed Stratocaster that he played left handed.You may be able to help me on this one though, who was the left handed guitar player who learned to play his right handed Strat without changing the strings over ie: top "E" was at the top of the guitar instead of the bottom row? cracking player but can't think of his name. (mainly played the blues) Rog. oooops - I had always thought (& told others [!?!?]) that it was Hendrix who played a R.H guitar left handed,,,, without changing the strings over. Someone on here will know ! Baz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 If i remember correctly....Hendrix didnt use standard tuning on his guitar....was told he only had 3 tunings....top 2 the same ..middle 2 the same and bottom 2 the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bridg4dBoy 1 Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Back to Buddy Holly and a tenuous link. Apart from wearing the glasses, Hank Marvin fancied owning a Fender like Buddies as well, only problem was that there weren't any available in the UK at the time. When Cliff went off to the States for a bit of promotion for the Shadows, Hank persuaded him to bring one back, which he did, only in red rather than Hollies light blue. This was the first Stratocaster ever to grace our shores, it still survives, only Bruce Welch borrowed it off Hank many years ago and refuses to give it back. This leads on to another link, not wanting to appear to be seen to be copying the Shadows, the Beatles chose originally to use Rickenbacker guitars rather than Fenders. I was surprised that nothing was made of the anniversary on TV last night, BBC4 did it's usual music stuff but nothing relating to Buddy Holly, which they are doing tonight, but why a day late, it doesn't make sense. Sorry to have to correct you on the Strats colour finish, it was "Sunburst", which is a wood finish running from light to dark around the edge of the Start's body. I own one my self with the same finish along with a 1967 Epiphone Casino as used by the Beatles {John & George} around 1966/67 & played by John on the Get Back video on the Apple Corp's roof concert in Baker Street.
