Hendrix was known for playing right-handed guitars flipped over, the reverse ’70s-style headstock on this guitar alters the relative length of the strings—creating a unique playing feel while adding more snap to the treble strings. To keep truly be authentic the single-coil bridge pickup on this signature model is mounted with a reverse slant, generating warm sound with enhanced upper harmonics and definition on the bass strings while adding girth to the treble strings. To get the pure electric tone that is an elemental part of Hendrix’ legacy, Jimi's signature guitar is equipped with three reverse-mounted American Vintage ‘65 single-coil Stratocaster pickups. This reverses the pole piece stagger, subtly changing the string-to-string volume balance for authentic Hendrix-style tone. Other nice touches are that this Signature commemorative guitar has Hendrix's signature on the back of the Reverse Headstock and this Stratocaster also features a special neck plate engraved with a shoulders-up silhouette of Hendrix and an “Authentic Hendrix” inscription. In addition this instrument’s 9.5” radius is slightly flatter than a vintage-style radius—offering enough arc to provide a naturally comfortable fret-hand feel while making it easier to bend notes. So grab this guitar while you can. When they are gone that is it. No more.
