“This is for everybody”
Jimi Hendrix pasó a la historia por su increíble actuación en el Monterey Pop Festival, que concluyó con la quema de su ahora icónica Stratocaster pintada a mano. Destruida al final de su concierto, esta guitarra única sobrevivió solamente en fotos y película. Para celebrar el 50 aniversario de este hito en la historia de la música, hemos recreado la Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster en una edición limitada.

MONTEREY POP FESTIVAL 1967
It’s amazing that a guitar that was played only once would go on to be one of the most recognized in history, but that’s exactly the case with a one-of-a-kind Stratocaster that Jimi Hendrix sacrificed at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival.
Hendrix hand-painted a flowery design on this legendary Strat—in nail polish, no less—the night before he was to close out the inaugural event and brought it out for his final song, “Wild Thing”.
The Fiery Finale
“This is for everyone,” he said just before spraying something on the guitar. Jimi bent down to kiss the instrument and then tossed a lit match to elicit flames from the prone Strat. Like a disciple worshiping at an altar, Hendrix knelt before the blazing guitar as the audience stared agape watching him smash it to pieces.
While only a shard of that now-famous piece of history exists today, Fender has painstakingly recreated Jimi’s Monterey Strat to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the fiery milestone, right down to the nail-polish artwork that burned its way into the memories of fans around the world.
