Honoring the electrifying "Voodoo Child" who popularized the Stratocaster
guitar and its tremendous sonic flexibility, the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster
gives you the same fiery tone and playing feel to wield as your own. Full of
incendiary vintage tone and classic style, this extraordinary instrument
features signature touches and unique appointments based on his distinctive
"flipped-over" guitars.
The foundation of Hendrix's uniquely personal sound and playing style was
his habit of flipping his guitars over and restringing them to accommodate
his left-handed playing, resulting in a "reverse" headstock and bridge pickup
features reproduced here in exacting detail. The "reverse" headstock produces
a longer string length for the bass strings, creating a tighter playing feel along
with easier bending and vibrato on the treble strings. A trio of unsurpassed
American Vintage '65 single-coil pickups includes a reverse-slant bridge pickup
producing uniquely inspiring tone with tight, warm sound and enhanced upper
harmonics and definition. The highly versatile 9.5"-radius "C"-shaped maple
neck with medium jumbo frets offers a flatter playing surface - ideal for
chording while simultaneously allowing you to bend notes to the stratosphere
during scorching solos.
Commemorating Hendrix's unrivaled legacy, the large '70s-style headstock
bears the guitarist's signature on the rear. A unique neck plate displays a
shoulders-up silhouette of the man himself and the engraved inscription,
"Authentic Hendrix," leaving no doubt as to the inspiration behind this guitar.
Available in classic Olympic White or Black, both with chrome hardware and
including a gig bag, the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster is your chance to unleash
your own "electric sky church" music.
