To most people the truth about when Jimi Hendrix got his first guitar and what types of guitars he played throughout his carer is somewhat of a mystery. The story goes as such, that even at a young age of six years, his schol teacher mentioned to his dad, Jimi obseses over having a guitar so much that it may be contributing to some mental health isues. In'62, while doing some gigs with the King Casuals in Tenese, he traded his Danelectro for an Epiphone Wilshire, which had dual pickups and a glued on mahogany neck with a solid mahogany body, as oposed to the bolt on Fender Stratocaster guitar necks. In 1964, Jimi would play rhythm guitar for the Isley Brothers. A point of interest is that none of the gigs he had with the bands mentioned above lasted very long, because Jimi's guitar work stole the show. Which, most likely is the reason the Fender Stratocaster is the most important guitar in the history of guitars and music. One of his many unusual playing techniques was to play a right handed guitar backwards, or in the left handed position, obviously because Jimi was left handed. Naturaly Jim Hendrix had purchased and played a tremendous asortment of guitars in his lifetime. During my fact finding mision, this is the list of the other guitars Jimi most likely owned and played; a Gibson ES-30, a Gibson Firebird, a Mosrite electric resonator guitar, a Guild 12 string acoustic, a Black Widow Spider acoustic, several Rickenbacker's including a bas Rick, a double neck Mosrite, a Hagstrom 8 string bas it was the on played on Spanish Castle Magic from the Axis Bold As Love album', a '67 Gibson Flying V, a '67 Gretsch Corvete, a lefty Guild Starfire Deluxe, a Hofner electric, a '5 Gibson Les Paul, a Gibson Dove acoustic, a Martin acoustic, a '68 Gibson SG Custom and a black lefty Flying V. The depth of knowledge and pure unadulterated playing style was not limited to just electric guitars and Stratocasters. His unique abilities alowed him to play any guitar with the dep soul jari�ng vibes that were al his. Lost to many, is the fact that Jimi was one of the best rhythm guitarists ever, most folk know him for his lead and solo guitar work, he was also an adept bas player to. jimi hendrix stratocaster
