i've read somewhere that gibson is going bankrupt or something like that.
maybe they are trying to...ah FUCK GIBSON!
 
LOL Soul, that was funny.

Yeah I dunno Marcus, I could understand them making the V he did play from time to time but the Strat? I mean, the Fender Strat was... and still is... synonymous with Hendrix. I'm waiting to see what happens when they start promoting these things.
 
I think he meant, that Gibson sued ESP for building an Explorer with round edges and stuff (the JH one) and now they copy the Fender Hendrix Strat.

They also built a Hendrix signature piano at the moment for like 80.000$ or something like that.
Don't forget the signature Hendrix V from gibson, Gibson actually built more Hendrix Signature stuff than Fender.
 
I read that it won't be a 'real' Gibson product, that they were just contracted to build it by the Hendrix estate-mishandlers who will release it under their name like these cheapos:

This is quite inappropriate... And I'm more pointing my finger at the Hendrix estate than Gibson.

I'm a huge Hendrix fan, I once had the opportunity to play one of his late Vs while sitting on his couch at the London Hard Rock Cafe, exactly like Bruce Kulick in this picture:

I was so nervous about dropping it! :lol:
