Was watching a guitar review today where the reviewer was using a left handed guitar. It has never occurred to me but I started thinking about what's different on a left handed guitar and would they sound different than their equivalent right handed versions.
I convinced myself that the only real difference that may affect the sound are the way the pickups are made. For instance, the pole pieces have to be reversed correct. I'm thinking that the low E pole piece on a right handed guitar with the same pickup would be on the high E string on the left handed guitar if nothing changes right? I don't recall ever seeing left and right handed pickups so maybe I'm wrong.
Thoughts?
