Hendrix favorite guitar was this vintage Epiphone FT79 and was “used for almost everything he composed" whilst he was in the United States. Given to a friend just before he died, it was subsequently on numerous recordings and film soundtracks including those by Dusty Springfield, Walker Brothers, Blue Mink, Paul McCartney and on David Bowie’s Diamond Dogs.

Quick! Someone buy this thing before Henry J. buys it, puts a Gibson headstock on it, loads it down with onboard effects and Bluetooth, declares it's "just what Jimi would have wanted," calls it revolutionary, and sells production copies at $10,000.00 a pop.



That is a cool piece of rock n' roll history. I hope a private person buys it, and plays it. Regularly.

Ahhhh! Not too loud or we'll soon see "Inspired by Jimi Hendrix vintage Epiphone FT79".
They did it not too long ago with the Inspired By John Lennon Casino. :thwap

About 30 years ago the local guitar shop, Rockin' Robin, had a white strat in a display case up on the wall that was Hendrix's. If they still have it today, it must be locked away. I can't imagine the worth of an authentic Hendrix Strat!
