This dude was a goddamn legend. Left-handed. Did he restring his guitar? No, he learned the chords UPSIDE DOWN. And he’d play them upside down while tripping his balls off, and it sounded GOOD.
Actually, he did restring his guitars: Jimi did learn to play guitar right-handed, as demanded by his father Al. Jimi modified his first (right-handed) guitars for his natural leftism – restringing and changing the nut. But when Al was around, he felt he had to play a right-handed guitar simply flipped over (treble E at the top).

But, Dick Dale and Doyle Bramhall II play their guitars upside down, as you described.
