Motorcycles have been such a passion all my life but have become more of a spectator sport to me over the past few years been pondering about doing track days again but i don't think it will happen, a hobby that will never leave me is this lot
Guitars are great fun they bring joy to all ages even my grand kids, when you know what to buy you can make a bob or two, too.
The latest bunch... View attachment 80272
It was built in 1997 By Fender it is called The Woodstock Strat, they where built to the same spec as Jimi Hendrix's strat that he played at Woodstock as Jimi played left handed and used right handed guitars just flipped over.That left-handed Strat looks odd with the Fender logo on the headstock in reverse!
How did that happen?

Fender at the time decided to build a few that would suit a right hander, its a great guitar it also makes you wonder how the hell Jimi played so well.
So basically it is a upside down Strat.for a right handed player, On Fenders website it is called The 97 Tribute. Not many people notice you obviously know a bit about Strats.

For a left handed player check out Doyle Bramhall (Its Strung right handed, go forward to 28 mins if you don't want to watch it all)
Basically Roger 'nicked' Clapton's entire band for a while. (with permission) I really rate Doyle though.I've seen Doyle with Clapton a few times. He obviously learnt on a right hander, and must be self-taught. I don't rate him as a player though.
Methane bubbles can go badly wrong in the lab...
Don't do it under a sprinkler.
Cycling is my second love. Sea fishing off the beach or on a boat takes top spot for me.
