Fender Jimi Hendrix Artist Series Signature Monterey Stratocaster 2017 - 2018 - Monterey Graphic

The 2017–2018 Fender Jimi Hendrix Monterey Stratocaster is a seriously cool piece of rock history, and this particular example is in Excellent condition with reportedly no more than 10 hours of playing time! Released as a limited edition to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hendrix's legendary 1967 Monterey Pop Festival performance, this Strat recreates the unmistakable psychedelic artwork of the guitar he famously set on fire at the end of his set.

The Monterey graphic is what makes this guitar so special. The vintage cream-colored front is covered in bold floral artwork, hearts, and colorful swirls, with Fiesta Red wrapping around the edges and covering the back. It's a remarkably faithful tribute to Hendrix's original hand-decorated Strat, right down to the artwork extending across the pickguard. The exclusive Authentic Hendrix engraved neck plate is another great finishing touch.

Underneath the artwork is a proper vintage-inspired Stratocaster. It features an alder body, comfortable '60s-style C-shaped maple neck, 7.25" radius pau ferro fretboard, and 21 vintage-style frets. The three vintage-style single-coil pickups, traditional five-way selector, and six-screw synchronized tremolo keep things firmly in classic Strat territory.

Condition is Excellent, and the guitar presents beautifully. The previous owner reported a maximum of approximately 10 hours of playing time, and its overall appearance certainly reflects very limited use. The glossy finish, artwork, fretboard, and hardware all look very clean. It's a particularly nice example for someone who wants one of these as both a player and a collectible Hendrix tribute.
