"A guy named Eddie Kramer!" Dude you know your guitars, but sure as hell don't know your people. Eddie was Jimi's studio wizard. Those guys worked hand in hand in producing some of the most original and new at the time electric soundscapes. Eddie produced Jimi's studio albums and made guitar effects with him. He was probably more important than Chas Chandler..

More important as his producer *to Jimi's career and enduring popularity* than Chas as Jimi's manager. It's at least arguable.

The original is in the Hard Rock Cafe Vault in London, which is literally a bank vault full of amazing instruments and memorabilia in the basement of the old Coutt's Bank building across the road from the original Hard Rock Cafe on Old Park Lane.

[@Crescent_Audio]

Yep, it just looks super cheesy. Gibson is a great guitar manufacturer and a shitty “relicing” company, they’re throwing their hat in that ring because it’s all the rage right now to fake years of authentic wear and tear on a guitar. Would be cooler if they just left it new, don’t understand why things have to have artificial “personality” inserted in when everybody knows it’s a new guitar anyway.

Many claim he made Hendrix the legend he was because Eddie actually made Jimi tune his guitar correctly and put the time in to practice before recording such amazing records as "Electric Ladyland". I only hope you were being sarcastic! BTW, Eddie also was a great photographer and took many legendary photos of Hendrix.

Not long after Jimi died I was having a pint in the double A. Pub in Airdrie Scotland with Eric Barret's younger brother. Eric was Jimi's stage manager. He knew that I played guitar and asked if I wanted to come down and see it. Unfortunately I had to pass because I stayed up at Longrirggend about ten miles away and would have missed my last bus home. I know Eric also got the white strat and Monica Danneman got the black one. Do I regret this now ? Not really " I've still got my guitar" to quote Jimi. Have a peaceful Christmas.

[@cyber-psych2503]

Sort of true if you watch the old Jimi vids where he played Gibson, the neck scale didn't fit his new experience playing ... as was kind of the case for Leo strats, oddly the CBS - 'Woodstock' version was dialed in to Hendrix and made his style rock-et. Short life robbed all of the best to come. We miss you Jimi thank you for what your musical talent managed to leave behind 4us

[@ericbgordon1575]

Just imagine if a model like this one were being manufactured as a standard model instead of a signature one. Do you think the ratio between righty and lefty would still be 5 to 1? Two other people frequently associated with the body shape include Albert King and Dave Davies. Would Gibson ever make models with their scroll attached?

[@sethpujol1704]

Why does Trogly put so much emphasis on the "T" when he says things like "bu"tt"on or "me"t"al"? I always wondered if he really tries to do that or is that just the way he talks. I've never really heard anybody do that like him. Lol.

‘The pressure seemed to have eased off at that point. He knew he wasn’t happy with the Band of Gypsy’s, but he hadn’t got anything else going on. It was a very comfortable time for the two of us. Whence the idea came I know not-maybe the management, maybe Jimi , maybe a bit of both-but the plan was “why don’t we-form the Experience?’ I suspect the deal was that he would ultimately cover some of the places we’d not been to, like Japan and Australia; in fact rumor has it there were people selling tour jackets for Japan. Of Course, we never got there in the end. I’m not sure how Noel got the call but I don’t think he’d even seen Jimi for six months. There was a meeting at the management office in New York with the three of us and then a lengthy interview with Rolling Stone, during which we announced the tour. After the interview Jimi went back to his apartment and I went back to my hotel and within a few hours I’d got a call from him. ‘Could we meet up?’ Musically the conversation was over in a very short time. It came down to ‘What do you think?’ I knew that he meant Noel. It was very tricky. Jimi and I had great affection for Noel as a player and for his humour, but something didn’t feel right.’ The Hendrix Experience, Mitch Mitch &John Platt, 1990, @p.146.

[@peterlukach310]

Idk of it's worth noting but unless the pickups in the original have been documented being a 67 with gold hardware the pickups could be patent # or t tops.

"A guy named Eddie Kramer . . . I'm so glad so many people picked up on this and yet no one educated The Trogly who Eddie Kramer is - and more to the point since I'm South African is that Mr Kramer is one of ours, also a South African and also for those like Trogly who don't know, Mr Kramer produced every single one of Jimi's recordings. Just saying. If anyone knows anything about Jimi Eddie Kramer will know. Now I've put that to rest. Did I hear the rest of the review? Not really.
