Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster Izabella Limited Edition Olympic White

Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster Izabella Limited Edition Olympic White Item Description

This is a lightly used and still in excellent overall condition Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, a representation of the way the Olympic White Stratocaster looked when he strapped it on that Monday morning at Yasgur’s farm and serenaded the rising sun, backed by Gypsy Sun and The Rainbows, bringing his brand of “electric church music” to the masses. Purchased at Manny’s Music in NYC in ’68, this guitar (Serial Number 240981) was slightly modified to reflect Hendrix’ needs as a left-handed player, including being drilled for a strap button on the lower horn—a modification we reproduced here. This model is period-correct, from the stripeless “‘60s Oval C”-shaped maple neck with a 7.25”-radius round-lam maple fingerboard, bearing 21 vintage-style frets. The period-accurate 3-ply Parchment pickguard is loaded with a trio of hand-wound ’69 Strat® pickups tied together with vintage-style wiring and a 3-way pickup switch. Other features include vintage-style “F” tuning machines, bone nut and wing string tree. All relic wear is original to the guitar, and includes the original case with certificate of authenticity, trem arm and case candy.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Tremolo Arm
