I’ve been thinking about making a post for some time about why Fender hadn’t made a Hendrix Signature Strat of any kind….. \u00c2\u00a0I thought it might have been problems with Janie Hendrix since she owns all the rights to Jimi’s legacy….. \u00c2\u00a0Boy, was I wrong!….. \u00c2\u00a0This Christmas, which probably turned out to be the best thing that happened to me in 2013, I was given the gift of gifts – a ’97 Jimi Hendrix Tribute guitar – Complete with case and documentation…. \u00c2\u00a0Here’s what it looks like:<\/p>\n

You’ll notice that it is actually a left-handed guitar flipped over to give you the feel of that Hendrix had playing a right-hand guitar reversed….. \u00c2\u00a0You should notice that Fender even reversed the logo on the headstock….. \u00c2\u00a0It’s definitely one of a kind….. \u00c2\u00a0Over the years, Fender made seven different attempts at Hendrix strats, but, the ’97 Tribute Strat (the one I have) is the only one that uses a Left-Hand body, all the rest are Right-Hand bodies with Left-Hand necks, so, I guess this makes MY Hendrix Strat the best of the bunch as far as I’m concerned….. \u00c2\u00a0It’s going to take a while to get used to playing it as the control knobs dig into my forearm while playing…… \u00c2\u00a0Now, I need to learn a few Hendrix songs just a a tribute to the World’s Greatest Guitar Player…… \u00c2\u00a0Here’s a link that shows all seven of the versions and a short history of each….. \u00c2\u00a0Unfortunately, they don’t give any production numbers on the tribute Strat…… \u00c2\u00a0Doesn’t matter, it’s priceless to me……<\/div>\n

Check it out and welcome to 2014…… \u00c2\u00a0Let’s all try to Post and Comment more….. \u00c2\u00a0I miss hearing from the Community…… \u00c2\u00a0As Pink Floyd say, “Is There Anybody Out There?” and The Stones, “Miss You”……<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
