Still a nice sounding guitar. Although Hendrix borrowed stuff from other guitar players like any player andT Bone Walker and Buddy Guy had been doing the showboating stuff before him , to me Hendrix remains unique. Having said that I remember I asked for one of his albums for Xmas when I was quite young and my Dad played it and thought the record was faulty😂!
As for the guitar, I have a Strat myself but it is an early 80s CBS model and much much heavier. These don't have a good reputation generally but I like the sound/tone of mine.

Hi ,i was lucky to see him live in Coventry,with the supporting groups Pink Floyd,The Move ,Nice and Amen corner. All for the cost of about £2. Wish I had kept the ticket stub those are worth around £100.
I've got 3 Strats, my Ist guitar a white Mex strat got this of of chap who played it upside down like Hendrix so I had to reverse the nut. My 2nd Stat is a rare 98 American deluxe,Transparent Teal green, this was made in the new Fender factory.
My 3rd strat is a rare not for export candy apple red St65 tx with matching headstock Japan 2002.

Can't be that many here who got to see Hendrix play! Made me jealous now!
Sounds like you're definitely a Strat man too😃. I always preferred Strats over the Les Paul's myself although they each obviously have their own qualities and are more suited to different sounds /genres than others. My brother used to have a bizarrely bright orange Tele that had a nice sound but, again, it always brings to mind more country or Americana music. Some years ago I treated myself to a Rickenbacker 360 12 string fireglo which might be a kind of one trick pony guitar but it's a beautiful looking instrument and obviously perfect for that 60s/indie jangling vibe. I'd like a Gibson 335 or an Epiphone Casino too but, money aside I don't think my better half would appreciate me cluttering up the house with more stuff as she moans enough about my books/dvds/vinyl/cds etc as it is🙄
