Jimi Hendrix's 1964 Fender Stratocaster. The last remaining legitimate Jimi Hendrix owned guitar out there. A 1964 Fender Stratocaster used by Jimi Hendrix between 1967-1968. Given to his brother Leon Hendrix in Seattle, 12th February 1968.
Leon Hendrix writes: When Jimi came back home to Seattle with his band for the first time in 1968 we all met him at the airport and the same night he played at the Center Arena. A lot of the family was backstage and we were waiting for them to go to their seats so we could smoke some weed and have a few minutes to ourselves. We talked about how Dad and aunt Delores and all our cousins were doing, about girls, and touring, stuff like that, that's when the picture of Jimi trying on my glasses was taken. He asked me if I was gonna get a band together. I had forgotten I had told him I was thinking about it over the phone and I was kinda shy about it which made him laugh. He had at least three guitars that were ready to go on stage, one of them he was warming up on, and there was another in an open case on the floor. He asked me if I had a guitar and I said no, so he said take that one over there pointing to the one in the open case. It's funny, at the time, I almost didn't take it, I said I dunno man, or something like that. He said "Go ahead and take it, you don't have to learn to play it now if you don't want to, but I want you to have it." I've always remembered that part because it made me feel like I couldn't say no, that was Jimi.
The guitar has been used by Leon Hendrix since then. The guitar is completely playable (set up right handed) The guitar comes in the original guitar case Jimi was using to tour with. There is more information available, any enquiries please contact Ted Owen & Co
