I own a 1990 SR 5 fretless, and that is a "lefty loosy, righty tighty". Apparently, either digital or "rollover" style clocks have been used for so long in some US schools that a lot of kids don't actually understand the concept of "anti-clockwise" [i]Apparently.[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
