My decade? The 80s and early 90s. Too young for the 70s, and too cynical for anything since about 96.

Oh, and for all you musicians out there, a big :smt018 to you. I have no musical ability and both love it and hate it.

No, they're the right way up - that's the whole point of having left hand and right hand guitars.

Some left-handed people who choose to use Right handed guitars re-string them to put the strings in the usual top to bottom order but if I remember correctly (and I may not!) Hendrix didn't bother.
So a left handed guitar and a right handed one come with markings like tyres saying this way up etc. But some guitarists believe in living dangerously and ignore the right way up method.

Fascinating :smt003

I've not quite perfected this as I don't think I've the strength to ride a bike upside down using my lid as the road contact. However I can do sideways :smt003
