Ever notice Dick plays a left handed guitar right handed and strung upside down?

Yeah...the hair!

Irie,
That's what I thought too! Although are the head/keys are upside down?
Looks odd.

I think Dick is playing 2 different guitars. One a standard lefty and one that is either a righty upside down ala Hendrix or just has a reverse neck.

By using a reverse neck you get different string tension. Even though the business portion remains the same, the total length of the string effects the tension when bending the strings.
