More classic than Hendrix’s original “flipped-over” guitars, this Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster still packs enough fiery mojo to satisfy any far-out fan. A classic among classics, the Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster comes with a wealth of commemorative and vintage-inspired features like a reverse headstock with signature, engraved name plate, reverse-mounted American Vintage ’65 pickups with a reverse-slant single-coil bridge, and a maple neck with “C”-shape profile, 9.5″-radius maple fingerboard and 21 medium jumbo frets.
Founded by Leo Fender in 1938 as Fender’s Radio Service, what is now the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation began making electric guitars and amplifiers in 1945. The rest, as they say, is history. Creator of the world’s first mass-produced, and by far most popular, solid-bodied electric, Fender is now the world’s leading guitar manufacturer.
Developed hand-in-hand with some of the biggest artists of yesterday and today, the Fender Artist Series is a collaborative line of signature models incorporating hand-selected tonewoods and custom appointments and specs, voiced to specific tones and playing styles by our master builders and the artists themselves. Stratocasters, Telecasters, Jaguars, Jazzmasters, and Jazz, Precision, and Jaguar basses take on new life with the help of some of music’s most revered icons.
