I think Hendrix reversed the strings to keep bass at the top.

I did once play in a band with a leftie who just turned the guitar upside down and played with bass strings at the bottom which of course means inverting the chord shapes. Never seen it done before at close quarters; the most awkward looking thing you could imagine.

Dick Dale and Doyle Bramhall II play with the guitar upside down but not re-strung.

The bass strings ARE on the bottom btw. If a leftie has turned the guitar upside down the bass strings would be on the top. This is the most confusing thing about the guitar for me. Why was it accepted that the top was the bottom and the bottom was the top? I know the idea is that the bass strings are on the bottom when you bend forward and look at the guitar but nobody plays the guitar bent double and our brains are perfectly capable of determining which way up the fecking thing is.
