Fender Custom Shop Ltd Ed Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster Electric Guitar, Maple FB, Aged Olympic White

Known for being a Stratocaster fan, Jimi Hendrix played many different Stratocaster guitars. One notable one was even named after the song of the same name - Izabella. The guitar's most famous appearance was seen on August 18, 1969, during Jimi Hendrix's performance at Woodstock, which included his infamous performance of the 'Star Spangled Banner'. The craftsmen at the Fender Custom Shop have recreated the iconic instrument in meticulous detail - down to every scratch and nick - leaving no stone unturned in their quest for perfection. We are proud to present the result: the Limited Edition Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, representing the Olympic White Stratocaster as Jimi slung it over his shoulder that Monday morning at the Yasgur farm and sang to the rising sun, Gypsy Sun and The Rainbows, bringing his brand of “electric church music” to the masses.

Sold at Manny's Music in NYC in '68, this guitar (serial number 240981) was slightly modified to accommodate Hendrix's left-handedness, modifications that included additional strap holes - a modification we have reproduced on this guitar. This model is era-appropriate, with a C-shaped maple neck and 7.25" rounded maple fingerboard, 21 vintage-style frets. The authentic 3-ply Parchment pickguard with '69 Strat® hand-wound trio pickups is fastened together with vintage wiring and a 3-way pickup switch. Other features include vintage "F" tuning machines, nut and wing string tree. Includes deluxe hardshell case, custom strap, custom headband, coiled cable, commemorative booklet and COA.
