George is right! He didn't have any money for a left-handed guitar so he simply bought a right-hand model, turned it upside down and didn't even re-string it. My source is a good friend (musician) who studied lots of guitar "greats".

His father bought him his first guitar.That second part is not true. The guitars he owned he restrung. It was common for him to play a right handed guitar "upside down".In fact he played the bass guitar that way on All along the Watchtower. Noel Redding the Bass player had walked out. My source is better than your source. I have also been a fan since 1970!

hey ,,, come on guys ,, ive got a couple pretty good trivia questions posted for your entertainment. ill give a couple more clues. on the first question : the MOST popular band of the 1960's to never have a number 1 hit ? clue, this bands front man went on to a sucessful solo career, recording several albums, one of which he played every instrument and all vocals single handedly. second question: a major recording artist of the 1950's wanted to sign hendrix the first time he heard him in the 60's ... some call this guy "wizard".. ? clue , hendrix used a few of this guys inventions on every recording and live show he did. i should say that he wanted to sign hendrix but did not...

Jimi Hendix used devices built by Roger Mayer. Slightly modified Fuzz Face and the Octavia which was used on Purple Haze.

i saw him play at the Shoreham ballroom on Connecticut Avenue in Washington, DC at age 16. Approx 1968! Ending up seeing him later that night at a 'Little Tavern' hamburger stand in Georgetown. One of the best shows of my life!

That's so cool. I tried to get my dad to let me see him at the LA Forum on 25 April 1970. My only chance at 11 years old! :B

Cool. A nine year old thread. I have one. What was the name of the original drummer for the Beatles before Ringo Starr took the sticks? And as a bonus question, what was their original band name?
