[1] After watching the Boardman documentary this week, I'm now seriously tempted to get my Look KG241 re-finished in the CA colour scheme. It was the one I originally wanted in any case, but had to make do with Kelme-Costa Blanca day-glo yellow/blue at the time.

I remember Ritchie Blackmore of Deep Purple - who is right handed - playing a left handed Strat upside down a la Hendrix. Which was a bit stupid as he wasn't too terrible himself.
