Jimi Hendrix, the ultimate modern music innovator, was a lefty who played a right-handed guitar. His 'upside-down', reverse-strung Strat® created a fiery tone that revolutionized guitar playing. The Voodoo Child Strat, recreated by Fender Custom Shop artisans for right-handed players, lets you experience the tone and setup of his guitars. It features a reversed headstock for a tighter playing feel and easier bending. The left-handed hand-wound Custom Shop ’69 Strat single-coil pickups with reversed pole pieces offer enhanced upper harmonics and clear tone. The reversed bridge pickup gives you the authentic Hendrix sound. Other great features include a two-piece select alder body, NOS nitrocellulose lacquer finish, tinted maple neck with ’65 Strat “Oval C”-shaped profile, 9.5”-radius fingerboard, 21 6105 frets, 5-way switching, vintage wiring, 3-ply Eggshell pickguard, American Vintage Synchronized Tremolo, vintage-style tuning machines with Fender logo, bone nut and wing string tree.
