This super rare 'custom color' "Hendrix" Stratocaster is the only factory black maple-cap Strat that we have ever seen. Solid alder body, contoured on the back and lower bass bout and weighing 7.60 lbs. One-piece maple neck with a nut width of just under 1 5/8 inches, a scale length of 25 1/2 inches and a wonderful medium-to-thick neck profile. Super rare maple-cap fretboard with 21 original frets and black dot position markers. Large headstock with decal with Fender logo in black with gold trim, "Stratocaster" in black beside it, "With Synchronized Tremolo" in black beneath it, and two patent numbers in black below that: "PAT. 2,741,146 3,143,028." "Original Contour Body Patented" on the ball end of the headstock. Single 'butterfly' string tree with nylon spacer. Fender "F" closed-back tuners with octagonal metal buttons. Four-bolt neckplate with the serial number "280042" between the top two screws. The end of the neck is stamped in green "22 09 018 B" and the underside of the neck is stamped in black "09018". Three light-gray-bottom single-coil pickups with staggered polepieces and balanced outputs of 7.37k, 7.42k, and 7.31k, respectively. Each of the pickups is stamped on the underside in black "7179". Four-layer plastic pickguard (white, black, white, plus mother-of-pearl "mother-of-toilet-seat" underneath) with eleven screws. Three controls (one volume, two tone) plus three-way pickup selector switch, all on treble side of pickguard. White plastic Stratocaster knobs lettered in green. Fender "Synchronized Tremolo" combined bridge/tailpiece. The potentiometers are all stamped "137 7002" (CTS January 1970). There are a few minor dings and surface marks which are mainly confined to the edges of the body. The original frets(and fretboard) show very little sign of playing wear. This "Hendrix" Strat is in excellent plus (9.00) condition and is an exceptional player. Complete with the original white plastic tipped tremolo arm. Housed in its original Fender black hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.25).

  • Does Phil X read YouTube comments–or does someone read the comments to him? Just kidding Phil! Keep on rocking in the free world.

  • If you're watching this and you don't know the difference between the sound of a Les Paul and a Strat then you should probably watch something else.
