Did you set it up that way because Jimi Hendrix guitar bodies were upside down?
Well, I started listening to people and noticed that wen Otis Rush used one, he had it on the top — he played upside-down. And Hendrix had the guitar upside-down, except he strung it regular. It seemed to me that the people who did that the best had it on top, so I moved mine. Sometimes it does get in the way. I’ve had it tear my sleeve halfway off. So instead of working it with the little finger of your picking hand, it lays right in the middle of your palm. Yeah, and I’ve got the springs set up so I couldn’t move it with my little finger anyway. It’s pretty tight, with four springs tightened all the way up. That’s how I can do “Third Stone From The Sun” and still be in tune. See, I have my old Strat set up where it won’t go up at all. On my newer Strats, the vibrato handles are on the bottom, in the regular place. The orange one and Lenny, the brown one, both of their vibratos will go pretty far up and down as well, and they’re set up a lot lighter. All the guitars have personalitie
