i was completely un aware of this.
i thought that all leftys had righty trems, but then again, i think its more common to see vintage lefties than CIJ, or MIJ lefties.
actually, now that i think about it, im pretty sure i saw a B&B lefty jag a lil while ago with a righty trem,
but i can't remember(im thinking it was jap)
oh well, i guess you learn something new everyday.
thanks lamp!

No worries! As far as I know the Fender Japan have always had lefty trems on them and vintage Jags have rightys on them :)

that actually scores some points in my book for jap stuff.
that link i posted does feature a cool lefty(from a 12 foot distance)
up close it looks like it was painted with nail polish.
call me a dumbass but i have thought it would be really cool to score a lefty jag for cheap and play it righty.

Like Jimi did with a righty:

He looks like he is playing that guitar with his mind in that picture.

yeah lamp, exactly like that, its a weird guitar fetish of mine.
and you know what, jimi probly thought he was playing the guitar with his mind in that picture.

I wonder if he's sending the signal to the amp with his mind too, speaking of which.

I've always wondered if that was a 'shop or what. I know dude at least liked JMs and Duos, but...

Yeah my CIJ lefty Jag has a lefty trem too. But that fucking guitar there at auction looks like total shit.

i would pay 400 bucks shipped with some sort of a case for that guitar but no more than that, and its all becuz there are no pics under the guard, the buckers look like anal beads covered in blood, and the paint job literally does look like 50 bottles of nail polish.

If I had $500 I would buy it, though. Lefty Jags are hard to find.

nah, i've seen other photos where he had a LPB jag that definitely weren't 'shopped.

yeah i have seen a few shots where jimi played a jag.

by Jagermeister
Yeah, it just confuses me as to why he played this particular one without it being plugged in...

probly a tv appearence, it looks like the mic may not be plugged in as well.
the strings are still strung for righty, so who knows.
