The Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster pays homage to the legendary "Voodoo Chile" himself. Designed to capture Hendrix's electrifying tone and playing style, this instrument combines vintage flair with a range of exceptionally unique features.

With meticulous attention to detail, the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster replicates the iconic flipped-over guitars that Hendrix famously played. The reverse '70s-style oversized headstock and reverse-slant bridge pickup recreate his preferred setup, offering a longer string length and tighter playing feel for the bass strings with easier bending and vibrato for the treble strings. The American Vintage '65 single-coil pickups deliver exceptional warmth, enhanced upper harmonics and an inspiring, distinctive tone.

Crafted for versatility, the maple neck features a comfortable 9.5"-radius C-shape and medium jumbo frets, allowing smooth chording and effortless bending without the risk of fretting out during intense solos. A '70s-style headstock proudly displays Hendrix's signature, while the neck plate showcases a silhouette of the man himself, accompanied by the engraved inscription "Authentic Hendrix."
