Hi everybody !
I thought I would share my customized Stratocaster, I call it a "Right Handed + Left Handed Stratocaster". Many features of a left-handed guitar are found in this right-handed played axe. It is sort of like having some Jimi Hendrix features in a right-handed player's guitar. Like with the way the pickups are set upside down, treble pickup is on a different sloped angle, the body contours are different, the vibrato is upside down like for SRV, as well as the volume control placed completely different. I do own new and vintage Stratocasters, and this customized "Right Handed + Left Handed Stratocaster", plays and sounds very different. I must admit, it doesn't sound neither like a Hendrix or SRV model. It is even easier to play than a normal Stratocaster, due to the different balance of the body, and the even higher access to the highest frets for extra string bending purposes. This type of custom color I used, I call it "Blue Ice", because of it's strange shade of Lake Placid Blue, and it is also named after this original blues composition called "Blue Ice (blues)" - http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=51150101
