Key Features
Product Ref: 300554
The Hendrix Stratocaster comes equipped with a trio of American Vintage ’65 single-coil pickups, set up in an SSS configuration. With these, you are provided with a tight and warm tone, delivered with enhanced upper harmonics and definition. They also produce the iconic snap and bite that gave the Stratocaster its legendary status. To further enhance your performance, you can use the six-saddle vintage-style synchronized tremolo to add expressive vibrato and pitch bends.
Hendrix’s Fender guitar comes with a very unique design: a “flipped over” style. The headstock and bridge pickup are both reversed, as Jimi Hendrix was handed a right-handed guitar before going on stage in the mid ‘60s, despite being left-handed. This meant he had to be creative to fix the issue. He restrung the guitar upside down so he could get on stage without any complaints. The result of the “flipped” style creates Hendrix’s iconic sound, style, and technique.
Much like the rest of the Fender Stratocaster range, the guitar’s neck has been carefully crafted into a “C” neck profile, providing you with hours of comfortable playing. On top of the neck sits a maple fingerboard, which offers great playability and excellent note articulation due to the smooth material. The fretboard has been designed with twenty-one medium jumbo frets. Their size delivers a flatter playing surface, ideal for chords, while simultaneously allowing you to bend notes during scorching solos.
Born in 1942, Jimi Hendrix was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in history; The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music”. After moving to England in late 1966 and being discovered by Linda Keith, within months Hendrix had earned three top ten hits with the Jimi Hendrix Experience: ‘Hey Joe’, ‘Purple Haze’ and ‘The Wind Cries Mary’.
