Albert King is another guitarist who played with his strings in "reverse" order - I believe he was one of the first, actually.

Doyle Bramhall II is a more recent and current blues guitarist who also prefers the "reverse" string order. Gives him a very sharp and funky sound. I've tried it myself, but found some of the chords I like become too impractical to reach.

Also you don't NEED to buy a left-handed guitar and flip the whole thing around. Instead just buy a custom neck and adjust the bridge

[pennsays]

@IndianKBlue Hmm, I wonder if the people who did this had longer fingers than most.

Do you even know who this guy is?

[iversonmatthew]

Hell yeah!

Penn sounds like he definitely knows a bit about guitar for someone who hasn't picked it up.

@EbonyBunny1 Hendrix actually did both.

[5150zombie]

bullshit, dale doesen't get those sounds from playing a righty, lefty. He get gets those sounds cause he wants to. I'm cool with everything else.

@EbonyBunny1 that is so fuckin confusing

[EbonyBunny1]

@usernam4444 Hendrix played a right handed guitar, but restrung the guitar and played it as a lefty, so in a sense he turned it into a left handed guitar. Dick Dale left the right handed guitar as a right handed guitar and just played it upside down with his left hand. When he was given a left handed guitar, he couldn't play it, so he restrung a left handed guitar turned it into a right handed guitar and played it upside down with his left hand.

Dick Dale is the man!

I always wondered how he played the second run-through on Miserlou on the high E string. Makes sense. On regular string line-up its hard not to pull that high E when it's so skinny and at the bottom of the neck. Having at as the first string...did he play everything that way? Wow.
