I present the official Jimi Hendrix GIBSON Strat.....my god

[Digital Jams]

I am speechless as my hate just grows for both Shitson and the Hendrix LLC.............................

Authentic Hendrix LLC, a Jimi Hendrix Family Company, announced today the introduction of three branded Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Packages as part of an exclusive agreement between the Gibson Guitar Corp. and Authentic Hendrix properties. Specifically chosen for its innovation, quality and global impact, Authentic Hendrix LLC began conversations with the Gibson Guitar Corp. in 2008 to develop guitar packages that would serve as a tribute to the musician who many have called the world’s greatest guitarist of all time. The effort is also part of preserving his legacy so that generations to come could develop and appreciate his techniques and musicianship. Each guitar will have the Jimi Hendrix signature and logo on it and will come with special added value components only offered with the specific package.

Gibson Guitar and Authentic Hendrix LLC announced the launch of three exclusive Jimi Hendrix electric guitar packages.

WTF?!?!?!?!?

I saw that posted on another forum yesterday I think.

Ghey...

 

[headlessdeadguy]

I gotta go with you on this one.....

Unbelievable

 

[rsm]

Looks like a Daisy Rock to me?



gender or fibson hit a new low with this. I read somewhere that the LLC is run by his step sister who is/was 18 years younger than Jimi, he never really knew her. And Jimi's brother Leon is still alive, a brother he knew, and has no input into or any/little income from the LLC. This is a money grab pure and simple IMO, and does nothing to honor Jmi's legacy, in fact it does the opposite IMO.

Question: would this guitar be on Jimi's list to try/play/use if he were alive today? I don't know for sure, but I have an opinion.

Can anyone confirm or refute the LLC info I posted above? Not sure if its true or accurate or completely bogus?

Shake that money-maker!

Wrong. Poor taste. Just wrong. and its f-ugly too. all IMO of course.

Looks as bad as a Pink Jem.

 

[droptrd]

Uh? I dont get it...Why ?

 

[marvcus]

Is this a joke?

If not, Fender must've been done with feeding some family member's spending habits, so on to Gibson they went...

Why not a Flying V? I mean, a Gibson Strat? Seriously?

+1 on the flying V, seen a number of pictures of him playing a flying V, that would make a little sense.

I love Hendrix, but sure don't like this guitar or Hendrix LLC

Holy shit.......................

Gibson would sell guitars to the armless.

 

[XSSIVE]

Its a strat bro. Its for the guitar ignorant or the hendrix fanboy's which this should hit their limits.

 

[Jakem]

Unbelievable.

 

[bunghole]

for a hendrix guitar - get a black strat, maple board, 21 frets, 3 pickups. fairly simple



also, why anyone buys Gibson or Fender new anymore is a mystery to me. Other companies do the same stuff better.

 

[1big1]

WTF! anything for a buck! that's just plain sad.
