I'm left handed, we have a right handed guitar.. so I've been teaching myself to play guitar right handed. I'm getting pretty good now (i can play more than a feeling and dream on). but i want to play it lefty... and left handed guitars are impossible to find.. so

my question is... jimi hendrix was lefty and he just swithched the strings on a righty guitar to make it a lefty.. that would solve my problem, but would it mess up the guitar?
