Fender Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster Monterey - hand painted custom

It’s been 50 years since Jimi Hendrix took the
world by storm with his incredible Monterey Pop
Festival performance, which he concluded with

the sacrificial burning of his now-iconic hand-
painted Stratocaster. Destroyed during the fiery

culmination of his set, this one-of-a-kind guitar
survived only in photos and film. To celebrate the
50th anniversary of this milestone in music history,
we created the limited-edition Jimi Hendrix
Monterey Stratocaster.
A trio of single-coil Stratocaster pickups give this
Strat® its classic Fender sound—bell-like and
articulate, it has plenty of singing sustain for
soloing. The “C”-shaped maple neck bears a
vintage-style 7.25”-radius maple fingerboard with
21 vintage-sized frets for a playing feel just like
the original. The six-screw synchronized tremolo
is perfect for unleashing dive-bombs and other
sonic expression. Other period-correct touches
include the vintage-style tuning machines, strap
buttons, trem arm and dual-wing string trees.
An homage to Hendrix’s spectacular Strat—right
down to the hand-painted nail-polish artwork that
burned its way into our memories—and
as a special touch we’ve added an exclusive
etched Hendrix neck plate. Carrying on the same
free-spirited, psychedelic vibe of the original, and
indeed Hendrix himself, the Jimi Hendrix
Monterey Stratocaster is sure to set your music
ablaze.
