He restrung them. I guess I don't know if that puts the thick strings up or down. I don't play guitar.

He strung right-handed guitars "upside-down" so they'd be "normal" when he played em as a lefty. Lefties were tough to come by back then. Wonder if the effect on his tone was initially an accident since it wouldn't be hard to take a router to the guitar body and "fix" the slant of the pickup...

I'm sure we could debate all day about why he did it. But let's not and just agree he kicked ass.

I like his more mellow moody shit. Waterfall or I don't live today or Little Wing. That kind of stuff.
I really like these lyrics
"'star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. over' 'i am in orbit around the third planet from the star called the sun. over' 'you mean it's the earth? over.' Positive. it is known to have some form of intelligent species. over' 'i think we should take a look.'
Strange beautiful grass of green With your majestic silken seas Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer May I land my kinky machine
Although your world wonders me With you majestic superior cackling hen Your people I do not understand So to you I wish to put and end And you'll never hear surf music again

Agreed, but i wasn't 'debating' lol, just repeating what i recently saw in the back of a guitar magazine, they went through all the guitars he used, when he used them, why he changed them & they mentioned the volume knob thing...
I haven't listened to much Jimi myself, just the obvious ones...im listening to all along the along the watchtower now though...so great
