Question: How do you turn a right handed guitar into a left handed guitar?

I tried it on my bass by reversing the strings (tuned to always face in) but the pegs for the strings witch keeps it in cant be reversed i know its possible to reverse a guitar (ex. Jimi Hendrix) but how would you do it? and does the peg even matter? lol nuts not pegs srry

The pegs don't matter, but you're gonna need a new bridge and a new nut, so the intonation doesn't get all wonky.

Im pretty sure you just reverse the strings... Im not 100% on this, But i see no reason why it wouldn't work. But this would mean you'd have to deal with the pegs facing down if they faced up before and vice-versa

I would just restring it to have the sixth string be on what would normally be the bottom of the guitar. or you could just give in and get a new guitar dont worry about the pegs.
