Where is jimi hendrixs guitar from woodstock

Below is the quote from the person who did the cleaning, explaining the state of the guitar at that point. To see the interview in full, check the source below the quote. Cigarette burns were evident on the headstock; and there was staining from his shirt on the creamy-white finish.

Having cleaned the whole guitar and polished the frets the next step was to restring it and set the action. It was weird to realize that the last person to do this might well have been Hendrix himself, as there are well-known photos of him doing it backstage before a gig.

It seems unlikely that a piece of dirt would be so stubborn to attach itself to a smooth guitar finish, and remain there for months, but it is a possibility. One that would make the story of this guitar a lot more simple.

Corbin from IconicAxes has done a great job of telling the story behind the auction of this guitar. In short, the guitar was given to Mitch Mitchell at some point in by Hendrix, who kept it in his possession until The guitar was sold once again after only two years to Paul Allen, Microsoft co-founder for an undisclosed amount.

I know someone who claims to have been at woodstock and a Stratocaster was thrown into the crowd by someone in his band or even Jimi he does not know who threw it. He still has the guitar and this person is trustworthy. If you watch the long video of jam back at the house, during the drum solo you can see a strat in the background.

Hi Aaron. Sorry, had to wait a few days to get an HD copy of Woodstock. Where exactly should I be looking? Weird that that piece of footage is missing from the DVD release that I have. That guitar changes things somewhat, thanks for sending the video! The last guitar shown, which was given to Mitch Mitchell, has obviously been tampered with.

I find it hard to believe that Hendrix would play that guitar with the nut being as is. Which from string to string is not spaced correct. So I assume someone redid it poorly. It was weird to realise that the last person to do this might well have been Hendrix himself, as there are well-known photos of him doing it backstage before a gig.

I threaded each string through the guitar's tremolo block, over the individual saddles, up over the reversed nut and onto the 'F'-stamped Kluson tuners. It didn't need a lot more doing to it, but I tweaked the saddle heights, made minor intonation and pickup adjustments and that was it.

I did plug it in to an amp, but as I am right-handed and it was strung upside-down, a quick Little Wing was out of the question so I simply played a few notes to check that the electrics worked. Since then the Woodstock Strat has changed hands again. But I'm proud to say that in my own small way I might have contributed something to rock guitar history….

Brattin is also a renowned expert on Victorian author Charles Dickens. The showmanship, braggadocio, and over-the-top nature of his live performances were unheard of during his era.

As a testament to his talent and influence, Rolling Stone magazine gave him the 1 spot on their list of the Top Greatest Guitarists of All-Time in As expected from a guitar player of his stature, Hendrix was the owner of several guitars.
