Joan Jett has a sig again.

I'm surprised at how many lefties play right handed. My Dad did... the most famous ones are probably Joe Perry, Mark Knopfler, Duane Allman and Gary Moore.

Even Elvis Costello and Billy Corgan did too, but who cares about those guys!

Rik Emmett from Triumph, too.

It looks nice, but what's up with the different knob where the neck pickup volume usually is? Is that some sort of a voicing/coil tap/split switch and not a knob?

In the video she says that one’s a speed knob.

That's a handsome Gibson

Nice guitar, but Joan Jett has never done anything on the guitar that would make me want a sig model.

I'm lefty but play righty. I always felt like it was an advantage. The left hand does the more difficult work, so to have your dominant hand doing it just makes sense.

Yeah, I've always thought that. It would make more sense for a right handed person to play 'left handed.' I've tried a few times to play left handed and it is nearly impossible. It is so odd to make my right hand make chord shapes.

I used to think that too. However, over the last few years, I've come to believe that small subtleties in how and when your pick hits the strings has a dramatic effect on your tone. Much more so than fretting does.

Good point. AND, it also depends on what your goals on the instrument are. If you're disinterested in "chops" playing, then it probably doesn't matter much how your left hand operates, and the right hand might take precedence.

I love the guitar. Hopefully JJ’s badging is on the back.

I'm right-handed but my right hand fingers do not move independently like the fingers in my left hand do. In other words, I can't make the Vulcan greeting with my right hand because the middle & ring fingers kinda move together. But I can make the Vulcan greeting with my left hand.

It would be pretty much impossible for me to play guitar left-handed with fingers like that. Not that I'm much good playing right-handed either

I'm a lefty that plays right too. Although with my jacked up middle finger on my left hand (cut off the tip when I was 8 in a door) I should have learned to play lefty, but I've made it work so far.
