The Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, evoking the electrifying "Voodoo Chile" that made the Stratocaster guitar so popular for its huge tonal versatility, is packed with vintage tone and classic style. Hendrix’s sound and playing style were a result of how he adapted right-handed guitars for left-handed use, reversing the string order and headstock; the bridge pickup was reversed as well. All of this is faithfully recreated in this guitar. With the reversed headstock, the bass strings have a longer length than usual, creating a different tension that results in a unique feel and makes bending and vibrato on the treble strings easier. It features a trio of unbeatable American Vintage '65 single-coil pickups, with the bridge pickup reversed, producing a warm tone rich in harmonics and definition. The versatile 9.5" radius maple neck with a "C" profile and medium jumbo frets is ideal for playing chords while still allowing confident bends during scorching solos. Honoring the incomparable Hendrix, the '70s-style headstock bears the guitarist’s signature on the back. A unique neck plate shows a silhouette of the musician with the engraved inscription "Authentic Hendrix," leaving no doubt who inspired this guitar. Includes gig bag.
Black finish.
