Touche........... brother.....this preserves jimi's legacy how
"I love being alive and I will be the best man I possibly can. I will take love wherever I find it and offer it to whoever will take it... seek knowledge from those wiser and teach those who wish to learn from me."
"Develop your talent, man, and leave the world something. Records are really gifts from people. To think that an artist would love you enough to share his music with anyone is a beautiful thing."
Duane Skydog Allman
You come to a point in your life when you really don't care what people think about you, you just care what you think about yourself." - Evel Knievel

I agree with one of the commenters on WackyT's link. Fender should come out with an authentic Jimmy Page Les Paul.

I think most people regretably know that the guitar brands they dearly love are large corporate money making machines these days and it's just another marketing strategy to make money.
It just hurts and makes me scratch my head to think why Gibson would do such a thing that most guitarists would be opposed to. They just seem to be so out of touch at times.
I think Jimi would find it very funny and not play one.

It seems as though everything carries Jimi's name these days; perhaps the rights to put his name on something is fairly affordable. I don't know about the rest of the country, but here in the Northwest, you find the Hendrix likeness on many, many things. Jimi Hendrix coffee? You bet.
It's sad to see this happening. I think we can all agree that Jimi would not have wanted it this way. Can we look forward to more icons being milked for all they're [not] worth?

Didn't he use a Strat for the solo in stairway to heaven?
How about an official STH strat?

Should I give up my dream of a Les Paul Strat?

I realize that Gibson is in a very competitive business, but this guitar is definitely over the line.
A pseudo Strat copy built by Gibson..........................that is just wrong on too many levels...............
