Jimi's Radio One Strat

[ClashCityTele]

 

[warrent]

could be sunburst-
that strat on the bbc cover is missing the volume knob,
and im pretty sure the burst hes holding here was missing a knob- hard to see in that pic, but i used to have a copy of that same photo, but in better resolution. im almost positive it was.

i figure, the haircut and outfit put that album cover photo firmly in the context of jimis first album and concerts with the experience. early- mid 67, and thats when the first bbc recordings were done. (not that that has anything to do with the album art)
he didnt have a lot of guitars then.

i think it unlikely that that was anything other than a stock strat.

That would have been a good show

It's just the artist taking liberty of a guitar.

Doesn't look black to me.

Nor does the black Strat have those "bindings" -looking things around the edges. It even looks red in places where there are shadows.

 

[Skyhook]

That would have been a good show

Yeah... Engelbert Humperdinck and Jimi Hendrix.

Way down Mexico way, eventually.
