Technically, he did play right-handed guitars, but not in the conventional right-handed way. He would, as Jimi Hendrix did and I myself must do sometimes, re-strung the guitars to have the strings in left-handed order, effectively playing the guitar upside-down. This was before he got any real money to buy a good left-handed guitar, as they are often substantially more expensive than their right-handed counterparts, even if the same model.
Mandolins are normally held like a guitar- For a right handed player this would be with the body of the mandolin on your right thigh, with the neck of the mandolin in your left hand. For a lft handed player this would be reversed
the strings on a violin are G;D;A;E. IT IS VERY SIMPLE TO MEMORIZE!!! Actually, the string names on the violin is G,D,A,E. But for violas it is C,G,D,A. They do not have the same strings, and people often get those two confused. NOTE: Left handed violins are reversed, Just to let you know. Even though most left handed players use Right handed violins, but if you're one of the few who simply cannot play right handed, well... In all, left handed violins are such a rip.. -_- ($400)
Jimi Hendrix played a right-handed guitar, but it was strung e-b-g-d-a-e from bottom to top as it would be for any left-handed guitarist. This arrangement of strings over the pickups of a Fender Stratocaster contributed to his signature sound.
The order of the strings is reversed. And you can buy left handed guitars. I do agree with your answer the strings are reversed, and yes you can buy some guitars left handed if your lucky enough to find one, and if your lucky enough to find a good one. It's really too bad that even today most big guitar companies continue to punish the lefties. I recently wanted to try out a Warwick bass guitar because I've heard they're a really good. When I inquired about trying one out I was told it would have to be a special order made and bought from the Warwick guitar company because I'm left handed. I said to them but what if I do happen to order one and find I don't like it, then what? And why would anyone buy something without trying it out first? So because I'm left handed I feel like I'm being discriminated against at times just because I'm a lefty. Guitar companies need to step up and get with it and start making their guitars more available for lefties! There are a lot more of us out there then ever!!
You could set up the strings to play a standard ukulele with either hand. In order to mirror image the uke, you would have to place the strings in reverse order. It would not work as well with a 'cut-away' version of the Ukulele, as the cut out would be on the wrong side of the neck for a left handed person. I'm sure you could find left-handed cut-away versions from a good luthier.
