Just a quick general inquiry, but I was wondering if left handed Strats have reverse staggered magnets.
-
Depends on your pint of view. The pickups are put in facing the opposite way so they have a correct orientation for the strings. The reverse stagger is only when you are playing a right handed guitar turned upside down and strung left handed. Or a Voodoo Strat (or one of mine with reverse stagger Irish Tours, and a reversed angle bridge pickup and reverse headstock neck),
-
And so are the routes upside down (i.e., with the pointed part of the baseplate pointing towards the neck)?
-
No, the routes point the normal way (towards the bridge), but since the guitar is left handed, they are pointing the opposite way to if it was right handed.
-
Phil i think i disagree with what you say - since on a standard right hand stagger put on a leftie guitar
High e becomes low e
B becomes a
G becomes d
D becomes g
A becomes b
Low e become high e
So you would need a reverse stagger set to get the same as they would be on a right handed strat
However if you wanted to sound like Hendrix, then the right handed set may be more accurate as Jimi turned a riht handed axe upside down
-
A left handed Strat would be better with a left hand stagger and this is something we can do for you no problem.
