I just heard about this guy a few minutes ago from a posting on another site. It seems really weird watching his fingering(or lack of it) when he plays.
But it seems to work for him

Hi
Dick Dale has his guitars strung as a right handed guiar ,even though he plays left handed
i presume he must of learnt to play with a right handed guitar, turned upside down
as per jimi hendrix ,but left the stringing the same.
very strange to watch
regards
Jay

Over the years, I've met quite a few left-handed guitarists who play with the strings the normal way round.
One I can think of immediately is Alan Rogers (a great player who co-runs the Dartford Shads club), whose left handed guitars could be picked up and played by a right-handed player.
