Saber Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 Maybe this is old news to Hendrix fanatics but while I was watching Woodstock on TV, I noticed during a close-up of Hendrix's guitar that the bridge segments were set for longer string length at the hi-E than at the lo-E, as if the intonation was set-up for right handed stringing and was not intonated after reversing the string order for left-handed playing. I just thought that this was an interesting piece of trivia that might be useful to anyone making a Hendrix relic strat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saber Posted July 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 An out-of-tune relic Hendrix Strat you mean . Well... it would be an accurate reproduction of Hendrix's own out-of tune guitar which might be a small element that contributed to his "sound".

Stalefish Posted July 8, 2004 Report Share Posted July 8, 2004 Well, you can't really say the Woodstock guitar was dead in tune now could you.. Anyway, I've got a copy of the performance but I've never noticed that.. I'll look out for it the next time I watch it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
