  On the subject of playing left-handed but upside down, Elizabeth Cotten did this ages ago:

  Good spot on the maple headstock, @jazzz . And yes, beautiful patina on the body, on the fret dots, on the tuners. All around cool!

  *Looks like he lost the pickguard that was on that top photo. Good choice, imo.

  A couple of more close-up pictures. The top looks beautiful. Aside from the picking scratches, I don't see even a hint of a crack. I'll ask for the serial number tomorrow.

  

  

  

  And maybe more surprising than the guitar itself is he still has Selmer strings. I didn't know such a thing existed.

  I never saw somebody playing fingerstyle acoustic upside-down. And she played great. Eric Gales plays upside-down but he's an electric player and using a pick.

  And that D hole Selmer is an odd duck. The fretboard extension is actually positioned as it would be on a right handed guitar but the cutout is on the opposite side. ???
