Yet more dubious thinking from the great minds at Gibson. I shit you not. http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/smileys/free-ashamed-smileys-705.gif (http://www.easyfreesmileys.com/Free-Music-Smileys/)
The Baldwin Hendrix Custom Grand
One of the latest designs from renowned graphic artist Ray Bishop, who has transformed countless NHL hockey goalie masks and Gibson guitars, is appropriately named “The Hendrix.” This mind-bending Baldwin R1 Artist Grand piano features a design inspired by legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix. The design itself is based on the Jimi Hendrix Psychedelic Flying V produced by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2006, which was a painstaking recreation of Hendrix’s hand-painted 1967 Flying V. Bishop incorporated the guitar’s swirling psychedelic colors and designs into an original and stunning display that's highlighted by a full-size profile of Hendrix underneath the lid. A fitting tribute to a genuine legend.

A mid-sized grand that delivers rich, resonant sound
Measuring exactly 5'8", the Hendrix Custom Grand falls in the middle of Baldwin's size range for grand pianos. This means it will fit beautifully into almost any home. Superior craftsmanship and materials set this piano apart from Baldwin's competitors. The Hendrix features a one-piece, continuously-bent rim design constructed entirely of maple. In addition, the soundboard is made of the finest quartersawn spruce available so that you can enjoy wood with a tighter grain pattern and improved uniformity for exceptional tonal characteristics. The piano’s sharp keys are made from genuine African ebony wood with an added radius for a superior feel, and the Baldwin-engineered Renner hammers deliver world-class note-to-note clarity and consistency, while its superior action provides faster key repetition rates, in addition to an increase in dynamic tonal range. The three pedals are traditional — soft, sustain and sustenuto — and constructed from solid brass, and the fallboard utilizes a pneumatic, slow-close mechanism design.
