This off-white guitar would be just one of an unknown number of Strats owned by Jimi over the years, with many meeting similar fates.Īs the ‘60s went on he owned a few notable examples, some with rosewood fingerboards and some with maple, some with psychedelic paintjobs (like the one he used at the Monterey Pop Festival) and some without. Shortly afterwards the two split up and Hendrix was seen destroying a guitar that fit the Stratocaster’s description on-stage overseas in England. What was likely his first Stratocaster, an off-white model with a rosewood fingerboard, was a gift purchased in New York by his then girlfriend. During his time with the Isley Brothers, Jimi was seen playing Fender Jazzmaster and Fender Duo-Sonic guitars, which may have laid the foundations for his move to a Stratocaster.
