Gibson Strat - no, really...

[FernandoDuarte]

I think a idea of a Strat with Jimmy Hendrix brand awesome!!! That signature on the headstock looks cool! But not made by Gibson and not as "start pack"

Proof that the people at Gibson completely lost their mind.

I'll hold out for the Tom Murphy finished/relic piano

I thought Fender had already released about 673.5 kinds of "Hendrix" Strats in every "voodoo" or "gypsy" and every other conceivable branding?

Wow,

That guitar could've actually looked respectable if it wasn't for that stupid reversed bridge pickup! As for piano, well that's why you don't do drugs kids  :lol:

This is practically necessary a reverse bridge pickup on Hendrix signatures...

[AndyR]

Yeah, I got no problems with a reverse bridge - I've never tried it, but I think I might get used to the tone, if it was good enough for Jimi, etc... :lol:

And think about it... no-one's gonna see it most of the time you're playing!

Years ago I used to have a hot-rails in a strat bridge position. Loved the sound for what I was playing at the time, but HATED what it looked like. One day my girlfriend at the time pointed out they couldn't see it when I was playing... and I was ok after that!

Robin Trower has used regular Strats with a reverse bridge pickup occasionally.  I'd like to try it.

I have an Irish Tour set with reverse magnet stagger and a reversed slant bridge pickup.  I also have a tele with a reverse slant bridge pickup.  It is a subtle change unless you reverse the magnet stagger (my tele is the 52 Blackguard set which has flat polepieces).   Obviously I have no problem with the look of it!

Pathetic Gibson... an all time low.
