I would've thought the pedals would be at the other end on a 'Lefty? That's a long run from pick up to volume pedal.
Are there, or has there ever been, any big hitters coming out of 'Leftfield'?

Lloyd Green comes to mind, I thought he was a southpaw but plays it straight up..... Yes I am thinking of moving the pedals but not sure if left handed means left footed??

Yes chaps Lloyd is a lefty who, like me, plays the right(?) way round along with quite a few more. Unfortunately that's where my similarity ends. While you would expect the pedals on a lefty to be on the right, there are those who like it the other way, Dave Nash springs to mind for one. The one thing I love about this instrument is that while there may be some conventions and guidelines, there are no hard and fast rules. As long as what comes out of the speakers sounds good, how it gets there doesn't matter. Vive le difference!
All the best.
John.

Thanks for that info gents. I'm a lefty who throws with the right and plays six string with the right, too. I'm also a left footer, but not in the sectarian sense! Heaven forfend! Just another mixed up, crazy pensioner
And you're absolutely bang on, John.....as long as it sounds good......who cares
