Best Answer

Jimmi was a left handed guitarist. But as a young, non-performer, he did not have very much money. Lefty Guitars were tough to find and more expensive than righty guitars since they were so rare. Jimmi decided to go ahead and buy the righty guitar and he switched the strings so that the only difference was that the guitar was flipped. The strings were the same as when a righty played it because he flipped those and the strap was also flipped so that he could stand and play.
