Can I slant the bridge pickup on my right handed Strat as if I were playing a left handed guitar?
Your trying to achieve the same pickup angle as Jimi Hendrix. Jimi was left handed and played a right handed guitar. You are right handed and should play a left handed guitar to achieve the same results. If your using a right handed guitar and want the pickup slanted, here are few things you need to do. The body needs to be routed with the pickup slot cut at an opposite angle to the one presently routed. Routing the instrument will decrease the value if you plan sell it in the future. You need to have a custom pickguard made. You will notice a decrease in treble on the high strings and a brighter tone on the lower strings. You will also notice slightly more volume on the treble side.
