Upcoming auction of three Jimi Hendrix Stratocasters

Although apparently not yet posted on their website as of this writing, yesterday the Cooper Owen auction house in London alerted media that on February 16, 2005, three Hendrix-owned Stratocasters would be auctioned, one of which the auction house believes is the only left-handed guitar owned by Hendrix. The auction of these three Strats will be in conjunction with part two of the Cooper Owen Hendrix memorabilia auction series. Awaiting further information from Cooper Owen.

Wouldn't you like to find this on your hook?

Fender Custom Shop's Todd Krause recently completed the "Trout Strat" featuring the airbrush work of Dan Lawrence (whose work can also be seen on the Koi-caster).

Enjoy.
