Real world experience: Reverse headstock Stratocaster

[GuitarStv]

I would expect the opposite since the high strings got shorter, not sure I'm buying it but I don't have one to try it on. If I did, I'd probably Floyd it anyway.

If you have a Floyd it's really easy to see what difference strings over the nut make. Bend the strings with the nut locked (no string movement, therefore effectively zero string over nut) then bend the strings with the unlocked (extra length).

Yes, that would be an interesting check, FWIW, my Floyd statement was entirely hypothetical, I don't have any reverse headstock guitars right now.

Or, if you can find a regular strat and a Hendrix strat in a store, you could test for yourself.
