1967 Monterey Pop Festival:

Jimi W/Guitar On Fire The memorable event that introduced a relatively unknown Hendrix at his first major venue in North America. He performed before a skeptical audience on the same bill as The Who and The Grateful Dead, and ended up stealing the night with his incredible musicianship and flamboyant showmanship. From rumor to legend in a single night. Earlier that day, Jimi went to an area behind the stage and took with him a '65 Fiesta Red Stratocaster, an indian blanket, some incense, candles, and an assortment of paints. In a ceremony by himself, he painted the guitar that he planned to sacrifice later that evening. "Sometimes you sacrifice the things you love, in the name of love..." On that night, during the song "Wild Thing", he BURNED & SMASHED his special guitar to the crowds amazement! This guitar is an exact recreation of the guitar he played on that memorable night in Monterey...

'65 Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster:

#1 Strat Pic Custom Shop Diamond Collectors Edition Serial #5;
This guitar is exactly what he played that night, a right handed model strung left handed. (a right handed nut is included) It is an authentic 1965 model featuring a smaller, pre-CBS headstock and the transitional logo. It has a rosewood fretboard, upon a highly flamed maple neck and headstock. It has vintage frets and vintage pick-ups with the gray bobbins. The base finish is Fiesta Red, over which artist and co-designer Pamelina Hovnatanian, has re-created the wild psychedelic designs that Hendrix painted on the body. Photos and film from the Monterey Pop Festival was used as a guide, in addition to eye witness accounts from performers like Eric Burden who was there that night. Furthermore, Jimi's Saville Theater guitar, also painted by Hendrix in the same period, was carefully studied for more insight into his unique painting style, use of colors and brush strokes. The finish is flawless and absolutely gorgeous! Truly a piece of fine art...

It also has Surf Green lining and trim, with the Custom Shop logo on the front pocket. A matching strap for the bag is included. There is a guitar strap that is also matching White ultra suede with trim and beads. Also included is a White leather portfolio that stores a picture of Jimi on stage playing the original at the Monterey Pop Festival, and a signed and numbered certificate from the Fender Custom Shop. A back stage pass on a lanyard cord is included, along with a coiled guitar cord with a 90 degree plug (the type Jimi used), and all the regular Fender tools & manuals.

Pricing:

Why this price? Here are several factors that were considered in pricing this collectable piece...

  • This guitar is serial #5...
  • This is not a "Must Sell" situation...
  • Fender Diamond Dealers are now "Sold Out" of this series. While in stock at the dealers, double and triple digit serial #'s were going for no less than $6,500 and as much as $14,000 in one instance, where 8 people held a lottery for the chance at owning the only one the dealer had available...
  • The secondary market has already demanded an increase in value. The serial #01 Monterey Stratocaster just recently sold for $17,500! And another single digit serial # is now in the hands of its 3rd owner for a final purchase price of $14,000...
  • The owner of the #1 Playboy Monroe Strat wants $15,000 for it, and what does Playboy have to do with music or Stratocasters?
  • In comparing to the value of the Custom Shop Harley Davidson Strat. Harley's have been consistently bringing $14,000 to $20,000+ during the last 4 years. And those prices are not for any single digit serial #'s. You cant find any single digit Harley's for sale! The brand new edition of the Blue Book Of Guitars, lists the value of the Harley Strat at $30,000! I am not knocking Harley Strats, it too is a great Custom Shop piece, but lets compare the significant value of the two guitars. Hendrix vs. Harley? Which of the two has done more for the popularity of the Fender Company? Which has influenced the world wide sales of Stratocasters? Which played a part in shifting the course of Rock-n-Roll? Hands down..... HENDRIX!
  • Oh yeah! This guitar is serial #5...

Price = $9,995.00
