Guitar Info:
"In 1965 Jimi Hendrix was then known as Jimi James, he recorded frequently with Henry "Juggy" Murray. Jnr at Juggy's studios in New York City. On July 27th 1965 Jimi signed his first exclusive recording artists contract with Sue Records at the Sue offices on 265 West 54th Street, New York City, with Juggy Murray. Skip Juried was the chief engineer at Juggy Sound studios. He was a very good friend of Jimi Hendrix and Skip kept this special guitar for Jimi at the studio on his request. After Jimi's success with the Experience he returned to Juggy Sound to complete the Band of Gypsys album that was to be given to Ed Chalpin."
"Upon completing the Band of Gypsys album at Juggy Sound February/March 1970 this guitar was given to Skip Juried for his help and friendship throughout the years. Jimi also recorded with Noel Redding on the Nervous Breakdown sessions on which Skip engineered, Jimi used the guitar on two of the tracks, 'Blues in 3/4' and 'My Friend'."

WILD THING 06.06.2007
Wild thing you're blind!
It's right there! :-D
cool guitar!
Loewie 06.06.2007
OK:
I am blind too. Please point out exactly where the screw hole is. Unless Jimi played this guitar sitting all the time. How did he attach the strap?
In all the pictures I have seen, Jimi has the strap attached to the short horn (he played a right handed guitar upside down.) Well, this appears to be a right handed guitar. But, I do NOT see a hole on the short horn. The Guitar does appear to be strung upside down. However, the strap would have to go past the neck to reach the existing horn connection. Is it possible there is a hole at the base of the neck where the strap was attached?

can i buy dat
bitch 10.06.2007
Damn wish i could buy it, Strats from that era are great!
Even a "normal" one from that era is almost unaffordable and this one belonged to Jimi!
And someone mentioned the strap button, i've seen pics of Jimi in the early days and there where pics with the strap attached to the longest horn but with the strat flipped upside down.

Its a lovely old Strat, but I must admit the absence of a strap button on the lower horn is suspect. The only way Jimi could have played standing up without that would be if he tied the strap around the headstock, and I've never seen any pictures of him doing that.

No strap horn or even a hole where it was.I think that speaks for itself. Nuff said !

who cares if there was a strap hole or not! the fuckin thing was owned by the best guitarist ever! you people make me angry. you'll never own it nor will i! so let it go. damn you people are simple minded.
jimifanforlife 12.04.2008
I think a person who wanted to buy the guitar would care about the strap button. The point is that if there's no hole for a strap button on the lower horn, then the authenticity of guitar as a Hendrix guitar is questionable. Why is that "simple minded"? Its a totally reasonable question! None of us here may be buying it, but that doesnt mean we cant simply discuss it. Jeez...
The Axis 13.04.2008
Watching Hendrix playing right now at his Isle of Wight Gig just befor he left this world. His strat definitely had its strap button on the lowest horn.
