Jimi Hendrix Monterey 1967 Guitar from Fender
FEATURES
HENDRIX-INSPIRED ARTWORK
The guitar's body art is an homage to Hendrix's hand-painted original,
giving fans, players and collectors the chance to own a modern classic
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”.

GRETSCH® HONORS AC/DC’s MALCOLM YOUNG WITH NEW CUSTOM SHOP “SALUTE” JET™
“When the smoke clears, the Holy Trinity of the Greatest Rhythm Guitarists in the World will always include Malcolm Young!”
SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. (January 19, 2017) – Gretsch has the extraordinary privilege of honoring
Malcolm Young is, without question, one of the greatest guitarists in rock n' roll history.
For over 40 years his riffs have inspired generations of rock and metal guitarists.
legendary rock icon Malcolm Young with the release of the Gretsch G6131MY-CS Custom Shop Malcolm Young "Salute" Jet™.
“Malcolm Young is the best rhythm guitar player in the world of rock…period. His contribution to those who have followed in his footsteps is immeasurable.” - Jerry Cantrell, Alice in Chains
Powering an endless row of full stacks, Young’s tone is like a hell-bent freight train— driving, deafening and totally unstoppable.
"To me, Malcolm is a one of a kind and the heart and soul of AC/DC. The combination of the riffs he wrote and his rhythm playing are the foundation of who they are.” – Eddie Van Halen
The Gretsch team painstakingly examined and documented the guitar that drove Malcom’s tone — his famed No. 1 guitar: a battle-worn ’63 Jet Firebird™, handed down to him by Harry Vanda and elder brother George Young (of Easybeats fame) and nicknamed “The Beast.” Malcolm certainly made the instrument his own, not least by removing two of the three
pickups, stripping away the red finish, and pounding out some of the hardest rocking rhythm guitar ever heard in either hemisphere.
The G6131MY-CS Custom Shop Malcolm Young “Salute” Jet is a meticulously crafted Gretsch Custom Shop recreation accurate down to every last nick, scratch and dent acquired over Young’s long
True to form, the instrument has a double-cutaway chambered mahogany body with a maple top, white binding and heavy relic natural lacquer finish. The mahogany set neck has a solid-feeling “U” profile, with white binding and heavy relic lacquer finish, topped by a 12”-radius ebony fingerboard with a bone nut, 23 medium jumbo frets (including zero fret), and pearloid Neo-Classic™ “thumbnail” inlays. A single TV Jones® TV Classic pickup at the bridge delivers that unmistakable sound, wired up with three “G-arrow” control knobs (pickup volume, master volume and master tone). Other premium features include a Space-Control™ bridge with ebony base, ’60s-style Jet tailpiece, nickel/gold hardware, Schaller® tuners and a vintage-style hardshell case.
Available Summer 2017 at select Gretsch retailers.
