2002 Fender Custom Shop ’69 NOS Stratocaster (SOLD)
SOLD
This guitar based on the 1968/69 black Strat that Jimi Hendrix was photographed with on his last ever picture before his death. He loved that Strat and that’s the one what he played on his last gig as well!

This is one of the last photographs of Hendrix taken by Monika Dannemann at the Samarkand Hotel, on September 17, 1970 – day before his death. He is seen holding the black Strat, which many assume was his favorite:
This is a perfect guitar, especially if you like a bit of Hendrix & Woodstock vibe.
The U-shaped neck is so good! I love it so much, very comfortable to play, great action and sounds wonderful! The fingerboard radius is 7.25 as on all the legendary Stratocasters in the history!
The 3 pickups are Custom Shop 1969 Single Coil Stratocaster pickups with gray bobbins.
The tone is rich and full, these pickups are just great as you can expect from a Custom Shop built top end Stratocaster!
Just sounds amazing both clean and overdriven! Check my demo video with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=igJmISSYTiI
It has an ultra thin skin, nitro lacquer finish and since this is a NOS (New old stock) model, this hasn’t got any finish checking or relicing.
All original with the included 5-way pick-up selector. It comes with the Custom Shop certificate.
The original Fender hard case is working great, all latches work, nice and clean inside, but it has a few scratches outside. It looks more vintage 😉
Very clean, unused, mint example and just £1700! SOLD
