A "Flipped" Stratocaster That Continues a Legendary Sonic Signature
A direct nod to the aesthetics and playing characteristics associated with Jimi Hendrix, this Stratocaster features iconic elements such as the reversed headstock and the reverse-angled bridge pickup. The result: a guitar with an instantly recognizable look, designed to deliver a sharper treble response while retaining the vintage Stratocaster DNA and its versatility.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive electric guitar that responds to nuances and covers a wide range. It excels in rock, blues, funk, and psychedelic styles, yet remains very comfortable for crisp clean tones, dynamic crunches, and singing leads. The vintage vibrato perfectly complements smoother, vibrato-rich, and textured playing styles.
The Sound
The alder body provides the typical Strat balance: present mids, good articulation, and a clear attack, ideal for cutting through a mix without harshness. The three Pure Vintage '65 Gray-Bottom single-coil pickups deliver a precise vintage tone: bright cleans, percussive attacks, and natural compression when pushing the amp. The 5-position selector switch allows switching from a snappy bridge pickup to more scooped and "quack" intermediate positions, up to a warm and singing neck pickup. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo with 6 saddles contributes to sustain and musicality of the vibrations, perfect for Strat-style subtle playing nuances.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To maintain the original feel and balance, you can stick with a .010-.046 string set like the Fender USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel. Since the guitar comes with a luxury gig bag, it is well protected for transport.
