Jimi Hendrix is a legendary guitarist who needs no introduction.  Our "Woodstock" S-Style pays homage to the 1968 Olympic White guitar played by Hendrix at the Woodstock Festival in 1969. Hendrix was a left-handed player who used standard right-handed guitars with the strings reversed; this allowed for easier access to volume and tone controls and impacted on the tonal balance.  

Our take on Hendrix's iconic guitar retains the original alder body and maple neck/fretboard setup.  The "Woodstock" has a cracked/crackled nitro lacquer finish, with the neck softly worn for a smooth, authentic, vintage feel. The reverse headstock produces a longer string length for the bass strings, creating a tighter playing feel along with easier bending and vibrato on the treble strings. The 3 single-coil pickups, hand-wound to vintage spec, ensures the guitar retains the sound of the 60s.
