Chobey here -

I've been playing almost 2 years and am just now considering buying a second guitar. I was planning on getting a Lefty Olympic White MIM Strat and putting some Hendrixy pickups in it. I'd figured that the Custom Shop '69 pickups would do the trick. However, since I'm a lefty, is it okay to put right handed pickups in a left handed guitar, or would it screw up my sound? I saw a loaded lefty pickguard with '57/'62 pickups in it for sale. Would these be better for my handedness but still have a good Hendrix vibe?

put the pickups in backwards so the wires come out of the pickup on the neck side rather than the trem side. That should work, i've never seen lefthanded pickups and am a right handed player so help from a lefthanded player as to whether fender make lefthanded pickups would be nice.
