But why Gibson and not Fender?headlessdeadguy":2x01h1h7 said:
"It was Gibson who saw a vision from the beginning and was willing to work with us. I mean we (Authentic Hendrix) don't have anything against Fender, we have no bad blood, but it's just that we have built a better relationship with Gibson over the years."
In response to accusations of exploitation of the Hendrix name, Janie had this to say:
"I guess I would have to quote my dad, and my father would say, Well, we own it. Jimi was our family member and we'll just make sure that we take care of him the best way we can. What Experience Hendrix has done has proven that we are committed to keeping Jimi's legacy alive and intact and bring it to you in the most authentic form.

I was surprised when I read that as well. Explains quite a bit about how Guitar Center does things...
Supposedly the guitar is marketed as a "Hendrix" brand, and not a Gibson. I don't know Janie Hendrix did not just go to Cort and have it done, or why anyone at Gibson would want to be associated with this abomination.
Further, I have not seen/read a single positive comment about this idea so far. I see this going down in flames bad.

Jeez, I'm all for makin a buck as much as the next guy but thats abusive...
the fact is that pack plays right into the ideology of the Parents, who remember jimi and will connect to that 'visual', but dont wanna spend s#!t on the kids gear until theyre sure the kids commit...
I'm surprised it's not already being marketed on a late night info-mercial or a shopping channel yet... It's perfect 'whore marketing'....

I have met Jamie .... she dresses very well and is very pleasant. The fact that she only talked to Jimi twice well he was alive and I have never seen anyone in the family say a good think about her in front of me and have know many of them for over 20 years ..... the Hendrix estate takes in over $30 million dollars annually.

Yessir, starts with an H and ends with an R. I can't help but to think that things will end badly for the guys in New Hartford before Fender is done with them. I can't really even express how I feel about Gibson these days so I won't even try.Digital Jams":16y9of65 said:shredi knight":16y9of65 said:Coming soon - The Fender Les Paul Memorial Guitar.

what about the butterfly one then? or a rose shaped guitar? how about a guitar shaped like a dick?
its hilarious. humor. funny. joke. haha funny. only because of what you mentioned with "un-metal" genre scenes and public opinion.
its a genre perspective - i buy guitars for 1 reason - tone and playing ability. not because of a sticker, or specifically the color, or mixing genres to be cute.
if your famous and well known then do whatever the hell you like. you get paid to be flashy and different and funny.
but if your at home buying hello kitty guitars secretly in your basement only for the paint job - i dont want to know.
edit:
would i do it as a joke? damn right.
but there is a difference.

I really wish Gibson would stop doing stupid shit like this and put some focus on consistently producing instruments worth what they charge for them.

Hi, I'm new on here.
All I can say is that I'm predicting that this guitar won't sell very much because of the crass marketing and the exploitaion of the Hendrix name.
