Starting bid set at 695,000


"A fascinating & genuine Fender Stratocaster from March 1965 which was hand picked at Manny’s music store in NYC by Jimi himself in 1966 & used by him until 1969. Jimi took the guitar across the Atlantic for his now legendary arrival on European shores ready to turn the music world & guitar playing in general on its head."

"The guitar is a remarkable piece of Rock & Roll history. It is exhaustively documented, with both written and photographic evidence. As stated earlier, Jimi purchased this guitar in NYC in 1966 SN L68290. We have signed & notarized witness statements from individuals within Jimi’s management, that the guitar was played on stage in London, Hamburg, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Winterland & Monterey. It was also for recording sessions with the BBC. It was also used extensively at Olympic Studios in London & for the sessions for “Electric Lady Land.” Jimi used the guitar both on “Foxy Lady” & “ Hey Joe.”



ebay needs more auctions like this one and less crap.

shouldn't this be in a museum or something?

And if you're right handed, you don't even have to play it upside down!

That makes it a keeper for me, right there.
When you were young and your heart was an open book, you used to say "live and let live."
But if this ever changing world, in which we live in, makes you give in and cry, say "live and let die."
