Guitar players everywhere agree that Jimi Hendrix achieved his iconic sound partly by playing a left-handed guitar strung right-handed. This unique setup, particularly with the reverse-angled bridge pickup, creates a distinct tone that sets it apart from a standard Stratocaster. The low strings are brighter and more articulate, while the high strings sound warmer and fuller.

When a right-handed guitar is strung left-handed, the change in string tension and the staggered pole pieces on the pickups directly influence the tone. This is how Hendrix made his high strings scream and achieved those pure, clear tones on the low strings.

To make it easier for right-handed players to capture that Hendrix sound, Fender designed the Voodoo Strat. This guitar offers all the sonic benefits of playing an upside-down Strat, just on a right-handed body. Everything is set up for comfort and style, so you can channel your inner Hendrix with ease!
