Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster Black 2015
Fender Hendrix Strat, black, made in Mexico 2015. This plays and sounds fantastic. Jimi is king of all Strat players, and this posthumous model honours that legacy. You get some specific nods: reverse slanted neck pickup, mid-60s transition-era gold logo, reverse headstock, and a cool printed neck plate. The neck is a moderate C shape, which feels comfy, and features some subtle flame in the grain when the light catches it right. The pickups come our of the American Vintage line, and they sound fantastic: gooey rich mids, zesty treble and a punchy fast bass. Maybe this will land in the hands of a collector or Hendrix die-hard, but it's a very good candidate to be a daily player too. Just ask the Axis!
