I just picked up the new Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster!!
In spite of all the flack surrounding this guitar....I LOVE it!!
As with all of my off the rack guitars...a few mods are in order.
They will , without a doubt, better the instrument.
I have a set of Kinman Woodstocks (what else??!?) coming from E-Bay along with a brass bridge block
and Graph Tech saddles.
This axe is gonna scream when I'm done with it!!

Congrats, nothing like new guitar day! Nice looking guitar you got and a classy color combo for a Hendrix Strat.

This guitar is a Voodoocaster Strat (aka '68 Reverse Strat Special).

Not quite....Fender is calling it the Jimi Hendrix Artist Series Stratocaster.
It is uncannily similar to the VooDoo and 60's Reverse Special Strats...

The Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster is a replica of the infamous Olympic White '68 Woodstock guitar - essentially a lefty turned upside down - as opposed to the VooDooCaster which is a righty Strat with reverse angled bridge pickup and headstock. This model was first released in 1997 and lasted only 2 years.

While I may have said some less than complimentary things elsewhere I now find myself strangely drawn to this and, were I in the market for another MiM (which I'm not at the moment), I would certainly give it some serious thought. The upside down right way up logo doesn't annoy me now either.
