C-RAM Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yes - 'vintage'. There's no indication of what that means, or what year this particular model was produced, but THIS GUITAR WAS SIGNED BY JIMI HENDRIX' BROTHER, LEON. From the item specifics: "Leon has an amazing signature. Quite breathtaking." I mean, I don't have the money for an item like this, but if I did, I'd be overjoyed with having excess cash... http://www.ebay.com/itm/vintage-Fender-white-guitar-strat-stratocaster-signed-by-jimi-hendrix-bro-james/282143799234?_trksid=p2045573.c100033.m2042&_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D38530%26meid%3Ddebfc48eb92840cab15ca3bffcba0385%26pid%3D100033%26rk%3D6%26rkt%3D8%26sd%3D401215766045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-RAM Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Leon Hendrix, on being a Boeing Co. draughtsman: "You draw this bolt, or this nut and off it goes to some department and into a bit of machinery. So I quit.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Better Leon than Jamie. You must mean Janie Hendrix? Interesting because she got Leon cut out of the Hendrix estate some years ago despite his DNA evidence - it is in his book "A Brother's Story". I thought that the same court decision also prevented them (the estate) from using the Hendrix signature as a marketing tool - but I could be wrong on that. This guitar wasn't even made until at least 20 yrs after Jimi's tragic death. From the seller's blurb - "Stratocaster signed by Jimi Hendrix brother and fellow Musician, Leon Hendrix. I'm helping the estate sell THIS GUITAR to a new home, museum or HARDROCK style restaurant." My bold and italics. I will be very surprised indeed if Leon Hendrix wants to help the estate - Hendrix Experience LLC - in any way whatsoever. I think this is BS.

Guest Farnsbarns Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I would say that this signature has halved the value of an already not particularly valuable guitar anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 I started to read the info on the Leon Hendrix guitar, but my eye was drawn to the ad below, for a lesser-priced guitar. Yowza.
