Did Jimi Hendrix play a left handed Fender?

Jimi played a Fender, but he just took a standard right handed Stratocaster and restrung it in the opposite direction so he could play the guitar upside down and still make sense of it! These days, guitarists can choose whether they want to follow Jimi's lead or instead buy an actual left-handed Strat!

Do left handed people need to play left handed guitars?

No, plenty of well known and legendary guitarists play right handed even though they are lefties. Eddie Van Halen, Mark Knopfler, Joe Perry and Duane Allman are just a few of the famous names who have played the 'wrong' way round. After all, what is wrong? If it feels correct, you should do it! Plus, your dominant hand will be on the fretboard where all the hard work is done!

Which Fender models are the most popular with left handed players?

Surprisingly, and yet fittingly, the most popular left handed Fender guitar is the Kurt Cobain Jaguar in 3 Colour Sunburst. Kurt was a lefty so this is appropriate! After the Cobain Jag, the most popular left handed Fender models are the American Pro Telecaster in Butterscotch Blonde and the American Pro Stratocaster in Olympic White, both very classic representations of very classic guitars!
