Bramhall II is notable as one of the few guitarists who plays with his instrument strung upside-down. He plays left-handed, but the instrument is strung upside-down with the high E on the top. This unusual arrangement of the strings gives his playing a unique sound, because he bends the strings by pulling them downwards rather than upwards, the customary approach. Others who have bent strings in this direction include Albert King, Eric Gales, Otis Rush, Coco Montoya and the late blues guitarist Jeff Healey who played with his instrument flat on his lap for stability and increased string flexibility
Kuz Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 And at PSP, Sammy the wonder Boy. The same left handed but strung righty.
Gianluca Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I can be wrong since I didn't dig DBII's but looks like a '90s model ....maybe? another good one we all probably know already(there are other videos of them as well):

I like it when you crank it and air comes out of the f-holes. A couple of buddies have 535s too. Bird, I've stated before that chestnut burst is not one of my favorite finishes. And I've also stated before that your chestnut burst 535 is easily within my top five favorite Heritages!
pressure Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I'm pretty sure the great Jimi Hendrix played lefty on guitars strung righty.
yoslate Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 ...and a program note: Having seen that picture of Doyle Bramhall II, a real inspiration for me, with the 535. Mine's going to rehearsal tonight. I hope it passes the audition!
skydog52 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Coco always plays with strings backwards. I've seen him a few times. Always a great show!

LittleLeroy Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 My Amber 535 with different lighting... she's my first Heritage and really got the ball rolling for me. So much life in this guitar!
Gitfiddler Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Cool thread!! This sexy Seth Lover-loaded goldtop/darkback can do so much, tonally.

My only change would be to dump the reflector know for some gold (or amber) speed knobs. But from the body colors to the perfect pickguard, she is a stunner!!!!

I find the larger diameter reflector knobs 'speedier' when twisting knobs on the fly during performances. Here's a 'before' shot, just for you.

There you go, or you could split the difference and get some amber (or even gold) "top hat" knobs. Personally, I prefer the speed knobs over the top-hats, and it's just me, but I think the reflector knobs look cheep. But it really is a stunner no matter what accessories she is wearing.

But the 535 can cover all of the bases I've need it to in pretty convincing fashion. ... Indeed, I am feeling the same. Love all my other guitars but my H535 I do love the most because it is so versatile.
