Unbelievable... :(   Look at what she's saying :

“Creating this new guitar is continuing Jimi’s practice of giving back to people. ” said Janie Hendrix, Jimi’s sister and CEO of Authentic Hendrix. “It was our own idea to approach Gibson in the beginning after the positive experiences we’d had with the Flying V’s that they made based on Jimi’s guitar some years back. Our excitement inspired their excitement, and here we are, creating these new branded musical instruments. This is just the tip of the iceberg.”

BURK  :x PDT_001 :shock:

Do the kids these days care as much about Hendrix, maybe someone more up-to-date would have been a good starter pack choice

I think they probably do gwEm, when I started playing guitar it was Hendrix who everybody wanted to play like and it was 1992, not 1969.  Up-to-date then was Nirvarna, RHCP and the Stone Roses etc but most kids really into the guitar will find out about Hendrix, then now or whenever..  There were Shredders into only 'modern' styles then and there are kinds into more modern styles now but nearly all still want to play 'Purple Haze' or 'Hey Joe' at Some point.

My point being that Hendrix will always be popular to young guitarists.  Why they need artist starter packs at all I don't know!

[MDV]

I have to take umbridge with shredders being modern

They've all borrowed massively from centuries old violin music!

Great point. I don't think todays youngsters who pick up a guitar has Jimi as one of their favourite players. The might not even know who he is! So I'm guessing the guitars won't sell much and know real guitar player would ever by this guitar, right...?

Epic pwnage, i take it you watched the VMAs too?

[Ratrod]

Gibson doesn't see real players as their customers anymore. they only wanna sell cr@p to collectors and such. Dentists, lawyers etc.

(Edit: if you are adentist or a lawyer, don't take it personally. unless you actually buy that overpriced collectors cr@p.)
