Honoring the electrifying "Voodoo Chile" who popularized the Stratocaster guitar and its tremendous sonic flexibility, the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster gives you the same fiery tone and playing feel to wield as your own. Full of incendiary vintage tone and classic style, this extraordinary instrument features signature touches and unique appointments based on his distinctive "flipped-over" guitars.

The foundation of Hendrix's uniquely personal sound and playing style was his habit of flipping his guitars over and restringing them to accommodate his left-handed playing, resulting in a "reverse" headstock and bridge pickup—features reproduced here in exacting detail. The "reverse" headstock produces a longer string length for the bass strings, creating a tighter playing feel along with easier bending and vibrato on the treble strings. A trio of unsurpassed American Vintage ’65 single-coil pickups includes a reverse-slant bridge pickup, producing uniquely inspiring tone with tight, warm sound and enhanced upper harmonics and definition. The highly versatile 9.5"-radius "C"-shaped maple neck with medium jumbo frets offers a flatter playing surface—ideal for chording while simultaneously allowing you to bend notes to the stratosphere without fear of fretting out during scorching solos.

Commemorating Hendrix's unrivaled legacy, the large ’70s-style headstock bears the guitarist's signature on the rear. A unique neck plate displays a shoulders-up silhouette of the man himself and the engraved inscription, "Authentic Hendrix," leaving no doubt as to the inspiration behind this guitar. Available in classic Olympic White or Black, both with chrome hardware and including a gig bag, the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster is your chance to unleash your own "electric sky church" music.

Allgemeine Informationen

Tremolo-System: Tremolo

Aufgrund seiner Bauweise erlaubt das Tremolo die Saiten mit einer Hebelbewegung soweit herunterzustimmen, dass sie schlaff auf dem Griffbrett aufliegen. Dieser Effekt wird als „Divebomb“ bezeichnet, da man so Klangeffekte erzielt, die an herabstürzende Flugzeuge erinnern. Eindrucksvoll zelebrierte Jimi Hendrix diesen Effekt bei seiner Version des "Star-Spangled Banner" auf dem Woodstock-Festival, wo er in die US-amerikanische Nationalhymne mit Hilfe des Tremolos den Klang von angreifenden Flugzeugen und explodierenden Bomben einwebte. Nachteil von so extremer Behandlung ist jedoch ein Verstimmen der Gitarre, wenn das Tremolo in die Ruhestellung zurückkehrt. Bei Hendrix' Auftritt in Woodstock kann man in mehreren Szenen des Films erkennen, wie der Musiker seine Gitarre nachstimmt.
