Fender pays tribute to the electrifying "Voodoo Chile", the tune that made the Stratocaster guitar so popular thanks in part to its incredible sonic versatility, with the Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster, a guitar that puts the same intense tone and playing feel of the original in your hands. With its classic styling and explosive vintage sound, this extraordinary instrument includes the same Signature details and unique ornamentation of those distinctive "upside-down" guitars. The foundations of Hendrix's all-personal sound and playing style lie in his habit of turning his guitars upside down and adapting them to his left-handed playing. The result is an instrument with an inverted headstock and pickup bridge - these specific features are reproduced here in minute detail. The inverted headstock allows you to take advantage of longer low strings, which improves playing feel and facilitates bend and vibrato on the high strings. A trio of American Vintage '65 single-coil pickups includes an inverted-tilt bridge model that produces a unique, concise, warm sound and improves definition as well as harmonics in the treble. The maple neck, with its "C" profile, 9.5" (241 mm) radius and jumbo medium frets, is particularly pleasant to play. It offers a flatter playing surface - ideal for playing chords, but also for making extreme note bends without risking blowing the strings during the most intense solos. And to commemorate Hendrix's incredible legacy, the back of the wide, '70s-style headstock features the guitarist's signature. A special mounting plate includes a representation of Hendrix's own shoulders and face, as well as the engraved "Authentic Hendrix" inscription, to remind you where the inspiration for this guitar came from. The Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster is a unique opportunity to unleash your music in your own "Electric Sky Church".
