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.

Summarized and selected by AI from recent customer reviews
Customers praised this signature Stratocaster for its "excellent" sound quality and craftsmanship. The American Vintage 65 pickups deliver superior tone, positioning it between standard Mexican and American models. Shoppers appreciated the comfortable D-profile neck, light weight, and distinctive reversed headstock. Some noted thicker finish, but overall found it an "outstanding value" with great playability.

I went to try it on in store. During my tests I compared it to a standard Mexican strat and a standard American one.
Finally, when you take the trouble to try, you notice that the price of guitars is very often in relation to the perceived quality of the instruments. Well I'm not going to be original, no surprise this time either.
Compared to a standard Mexican Strat the Hendrix sounds better. And compared to the standard American one, again unsurprisingly, the American one sounds better than the Hendrix.
In short, the Hendrix fits well between the two. With this little extra sound, I will locate it much closer to the American one than to the standard Mexican one.
In terms of finish, no surprise either. The Hendrix Par is closer to the standard Mexican than to the American one. The American one is a good notch in terms of finish, wood, varnish, cases, etc., etc... Of course the price is not the same either.
Now let's be objective and look at the value for money of these 3 shovels.
Basically we have a shovel at 600, another at 900 and another at 1550.
Frankly the best value for money of the lot in my opinion remains the Hendrix. For 900 euros it's a very good strategy. Original because of its look and because of its more slamming sound in the treble. The American vintage 65 pickups are really great.
It is a signature Fender and in addition it is produced in a limited series. (Suppose)
In short, it is not the standard guitar that we see everywhere and that will still be produced in 10 years. See on sale or out of stock at certain times of the year.
The Hendrix is an original Mexican strat with a very nice value for money that will necessarily keep a better rating on the second-hand market given its original and limited side.Automatically translated

After reading some pretty good reviews, but also a lot of criticism of Fender's “marketing stunt” I thought that the best thing was still to try it.
The grip is classic for the Strato, no particular worries. the handle is comfortable, D 60's profile.
As mentioned in a famous magazine, the varnish is a bit thick, but hey... Personally, I don't mind at all.
It is quite light (playing on Les Pauls the rest of the year, I am not very objective), no worries about finishing on the body.
The microphones are amazing (the same as on the gray bottom which is almost worth twice as much), the guitar is more than adequate for a Mexican one.
Vintage mechanics do the job even if after using and abusing the vibrato (which allows use without “zwing” as soon as you touch it, quite rare at this price) there will be no miracle! You will have to re-tune everything a bit.
In short, if you are looking for a new Strat, with a very attractive value for money, it is at all good.
If you are a Hendrix fan and you dream of an inverted head, that's fine.
It's not complicated, after testing it for a good half hour in the store, I finally left with it!
So go to your favorite stores and try them, you won't be disappointed.Automatically translated
