Members PurityS.L.G. Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Awww...how sweet. Hendrix family needed some more money to buy more 40's, menthol cigs and 2010 Cadillacs. $$$$$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members HumanFuseBen Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 oh my god, seriously?!?!??! how out of touch is gibson with reality??? who the {censored} will want this? words fail me here... this is also a testament to just how much of a bunch of money-grubbing leaches the Hendrix family is. they've gotten every penny out of the poor guy that they can. let the poor guy rest.

Members In Absentia Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 I hope Fender sues the bastards It's not gonna happen. Fender lost a major lawsuit last year and the judge determined that the Strat is a generic shape and can't be patented. That is why Suhr, Anderson, G&L, etc. can make it without fear of retribution. I think it is bullshit and will be turned over on the appeal (much like the Gibson/PRS case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poisonherwell Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 Didn't Hendrix at times play a Flying V and an SG? Why not do a model based on these?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jnurp Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 seems very dumb, but i wonder what the Hendrix family talks with Fender went like if they had to go to Gibson to get this done. I bet Fender laughed them out of the confrence room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Zakko Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 This is basically a glorified First Act guitar.I don't know what people are getting their panties in a bunch for. Edit: Just saw the Gibson CS model of it. Jackplate at the bottom. Weird looking trem on the back. Neck thru. Seems like a tarp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Shenaniganizer Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 On the box that comes with all that stuff, it says, "Guitar PaKage." What the fuck?

Members strtdv Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 I read the interview with one of the Hendrix's. It basically reads as "Fender weren't interested in offering us lots of money in an endorsement deal, so we went with Gibson". Looks like the Hendrix family have lost whatever scrap of dignity they had left, and have completely jumped the shark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members meelosh123 Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 What if they actually turn out to be badass playing, badass sounding gibson strats for a good price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members olgluefoot Posted September 23, 2009 Members Share Posted September 23, 2009 There was a "Hendrix V" already. Yeah but if they are gonna throw together a cheap guitar package for beginners and call it "Jimi Hendrix" might as well stick with the guitar he actually played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
