A Signature Stratocaster Celebrating Jimi Hendrix's "Reversed" Guitar
This Artist Stratocaster pays tribute to Jimi Hendrix's iconic playing style, famous for using right-handed guitars played "upside down." The reversed headstock and Olympic White aesthetics contribute to a classic look, while the signature details (engraved neck plate, signature on the back of the headstock) clearly position this model as a collector's Stratocaster designed to recapture the feel and response of the instruments that defined the late 1960s.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Fender Artist Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking true playing dynamics, a vintage-tinged tonal palette, and a strong identity. It excels in blues, rock, psychedelic, funk, and pop, with excellent responsiveness to pick attacks and volume variations. The 9.5" / 241 mm radius also facilitates bends and expressive playing without sacrificing "Strat" comfort.
Tone
Its alder body provides a classic Strat balance: present mids, clear highs, and precise attack, ideal for cutting through the mix. The three Pure Vintage '65 single-coil pickups deliver open sounds rich in harmonics, with that typical "glassy" grain in positions 2 and 4. The reverse angled bridge pickup and reversed mounting subtly alter the string-to-string response: you gain a snappier feel on the highs and a different definition in the lows, while retaining the versatility of the 5-position selector and two dedicated tone controls (neck and middle).
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay as close as possible to the original specifications, use an electric string set .010-.046 (same gauge as factory-installed). The guitar comes with a Deluxe gig bag.
