a group of us, on peyote, had little to share with a group on marijuana

the marijuana smokers were discussing questions of the utmost profundity and we were sticking our fingers in our navels & giggling

Quote from: "JRL"Looks like a left handed guitar lefty to me.
Irie,

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.
