There's also the "Voodoo Strat" thing, which is a right handed guitar with upside-down (left-handed) neck, and reverse-polepiece (left-handed) pickups, with the bridge pickup at a reverse angle. Fender has made two versions of this, the old "Voodoo Stratocaster" and later a cheaper production version that was based on the Standard Strat. This gives the string tension and pickup response of playing an upside-down guitar, without having to deal with the controls and whammy bar in different positions, and no restriction of upper-fret access with a reverse body. Many guys just make their own "Voodoo" Strats by modifying a regular right-handed Strat, and changing the neck, pickups and pickguard. I bought a set of three reverse '69 Fender pickups (the ones they used in the Voodoo Strat) when Musician's Friend cleared them out for about $29 a piece (they are the same as the '69 Reissue pickups, except left-handed polepiece stagger), have a body and other parts, and am just looking for a cool neck to use for this project. It's a little easier to deal with than a completely reversed guitar (playing a left-handed guitar upside down), and gets the same "benefits" (different string tensions, and different string response from the backward polepiece stagger).
