Any Jimi Hendrix fans here

You can now own one of his guitars. It might cost a supercar or two.

With a $695,000 starting bid, you still have to pay $150 for shipping?! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Was she at Woodstock? What chopper were they left on? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

[Mr70]

For that much coin,I'd rather have this one from Monterey.

You will need to be left handed, and play it upside down. That's how he played.
Belair will claim he knew that, but he didn't. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BelairSucks.gif

Q: Would you consider paying for the shipping, due to the purchase price?

A: no, there's plenty of margin for the next guy, this is a $75k-850k guitar



[/ QUOTE ]

So who else here would would drop 695k on this and then let the seller toss it in a box with a few packing corns and drop it at the nearest UPS drop location? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes, he was left handed and the guitar body is upside down, however it is strung properly with the bass strings on top for a lefty.

[camarojoe]

Doughnutblue is correct, The idea that he played a right handed guitar "left handed" without restringing it for a left hander is a total myth...while Hendrix did indeed play a right handed strat upside down, it was simply because he was left handed. His guitars were strung the same way any left handed guitar would be strung.

[Belair62]

Hey Joe...where you going with that gun in your hand ?

[camarojoe]

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif I saw that one coming....

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/BelairSucks.gif

[Schonyenko2]

That is correct. To bad he was the closer at Woodstock. Alot of people had already bailed.

Wave on.........

[Chevy454]

Never was a sunburst fan myself, but I'll give that one it's props due to it's previous owner! But for that price, my Lemans blue Strat is looking better by the minute...

All this Hendrix talk makes me wanna' put on "Manic Depression" and crank it up to 11. (Most stereos only go up to 10. Mine goes to 11.)

http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif x 11!

And Jimi was blessed with long fingers too.

Jimi dug his toys too. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

I know there is a pic of Jimi somewhere with him sitting in a 68-69 Corvette. You can only see the door and the mirror. Mr.70 or someone who is always looking up these weird pics find it! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

and lyrics rolled out of his head much like his fingers strolled the frets.....no effort. "Castles made of sand float into the sea.....eventually."

[Mr70]

Seller ended the auction early.

..scuse me,while I kiss the Sky. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/k/hippy.gif

[SamLBInj]

I would bet major money that Paul Allen is playing that upside down strat right now..
