Oh, absolutely no disrespect intended.
It's just that we know who you are, but I believe you to be a rarity in the world of Internet forums. Most uber-talented celebrities, such as yourself, do tend to prefer to just hang out and be perceived as just one of the guys. Fortunately, as opposed to other forums, here at TDPRI.com we're a bit more level-headed and don't scream like the girls at the American premier of The Beatles.
Conversely, not everybody actually turns out to be who their username alludes... God only knows that I wish I half as talented as David Gilmour's nail clippings.
My brother-in-law and my bassist have the same issue with being lefty. Sadly it leaves you guys with much less choice instruments. As a former musical instrument buyer, I've always lamented the lack of lefty instrments, especially beginner instruments. Fortunately, Fender's got a few lower-priced Squiers in lefty, now, but I think that there would be more lefty guitarists than there are if only the quality student instruments were there. It would explain, however, why David Gilmour and Michael Anthony decided to play righty even though they're left-handed.
