It''s a little silly. LOL
I mean basically hendrix did that W/ a right handed model, but they did it too a left hand model so right hand ppl could play it? Weird.

No... (the dots aren't to be a smart ass, it was to fill the 5 character minimum. Silly rule as silly as that guitar.) some answers simply are "no." |

This particular model, I suppose would feel different due to the string length after the nut. Whether it's perceivable difference.... I can't say.
Some of these had the bridge pickup slanted the other way. That would at least make the bridge pickup sound different.

I remember that model being released..
I guess there are hendrix fans that would do anything for "that" tone.
I think tennisnick has nailed it - string length and slanted bridge pickup.

Didn't they have a SRV model configured like that?
I seem to remember seeing a right-handed one.

The Fender catalog at the time said the reverse headstock sticker was so you'd look like Hendrix in the mirror.

Exactly... I don't think any guitar has ever instigated more collective outrage in the guitarcommunity as that turd. Unless that was the point from some sad marketing POV.
