To be historically accurate, Hendrix and McCartney tunes should be played left-handed on re-strung right-handed instruments, as both of those masters did.
But seriously: you can't sound like the 1963 Beatles unless you use crappy Vox amps. You can't sound like Bach's 1717 ensembles unless you use valveless brass. Other choices are as valid as the results; i.e. might be great or might be terrible. We've all heard plenty of both.
Happy listening,
Jim
