The on/off switch is on the left if it's left handed :wink:

You don't need left hand leads, any right hand lead bought in the northern hemisphere is actually left hand when its in the southern hemisphere, theres a TON of right handed people I see here using left hand leads and not realizing it!!

Another reason to support your local music store, you're guaranteed to get the correct handed polarity.

wow...I never thought of that....I always thought Id need reverse polarity strings with a left hand lead....which are a pain cos they dont work with humbuckers - well only with 1 coil actually.

I used my left hand lead with a reverse polarity strings on a tele once and my wife and dog came home......

Is an English band winning that competition a sign that the commonwealth is alive and well? Oh, that's right it had some/a NZ member(s). That's like saying Crowded House were a New Zealand band :wink:

I haven't organised Cris, but will do so, he needs to find an amp for that Roadster, trying some different flavours of amp should put a smile on his dial.

NO clarky, that's not acceptable. :(

You'd better have a signed note from mum.
