hat denn jimi wirklich eine strat mit großer kopfplatte gespielt?
Diese tribute-strat ist glaube ich MIM, oder?
Nein, Made in USA
Irgendwie war meine erste Mexico nicht so der Hit und seitdem kommen sie ALLE aus den Statten. Ich weiss, ich weiss ... ist ein übles Vorurteil, aber es hat mich halt geprägt.

Number Five: Voodoo Stratocaster (1998-1999)
January 29, 1998 Fender Press Release:
Fender's Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Stratocaster® recreates the sound made famous by the voodoo music master himself--Jimi Hendrix--for the righthanded player. The Voodoo Stratocaster has a right-handed alder body, a one-piece maple neck with reverse headstock, 21 medium jumbo frets, vintage pickups with reversed staggered pole pieces and reverse angle bridge pickup, a right-handed vintage bridge, rosewood or maple fretboard, and vintage "F" tuners. Comes factory equipped with genuine Fender strings for optimum tone and performance.
Guitar players universally agree that Hendrix achieved his signature sound in part because he was a left-handed guitar player who played a right-handed Stratocaster strung left-handed. The reverse bridge pickup angled down towards the bass string produces a unique sound that differs from a standard Stratocaster bridge pickup. The low strings are much brighter and more articulate and the high strings are warmer and fuller. When a right-handed guitar is strung lefthanded, the change in string tension and the reverse staggered pole pieces on the pickups have a direct effect on the tone, which is how Hendrix made his high strings scream and achieved pure, clear tones on his low strings. Since it's a challenge to play a guitar body that's upside down with all the knobs and the tremolo in the way, Fender made it easy for the right-handed player to comfortably obtain the Hendrix sound. Everything on the Voodoo Strat is designed to give all the sonic benefits of playing an upside-down Strat like the original guitar that Hendrix used, only on a right-handed body.

Notes: Available with either maple or rosewood fingerboard. Features the same image of Jimi Hendrix (shown above) laser-engraved on the neckplate as the Hendrix Monterey and Tribute Stratocasters. Headstock logo decal is the "transition" style. Although the 1968 Strat Hendrix played at Woodstock had the larger, black, CBS-style logo, the "transition"-style logo is still period correct. 1968 was the year in which Fender switched from the "transition" logo to the CBS-style, so guitars from 1968 can be found bearing either, depending upon their month of manufacture. Also, while production of the Voodoo Stratocaster most likely began in 1997 (and most, if not all of them, bear a serial number on the back of the headstock that begins with "TN7"), they were not available until 1998.
