I never heard that, and I know tons of Hendrix trivia...

I THINK HE'S REFERRING TO ALTAMONT WHERE THE CRAZY JIGABOO WAS JUMPIN UP AND DOWN IN THE 4TH ROW DURING THE FUCKING STONES SET

THAT FLYING V MAY HAVE BEEN JIMI'S - AND MAY NOT HAVE.

IT WAS ONLY CONFIRMED BY JIMI'S GUITAR TECH WHO HADN'T SEEN IT FOR LIKE 25 YEARS. IT WAS PAINTED GREEN, THEN PURPLE, THEN STRIPPED DOWN IN SOME GUITAR REPAIR SHOP WITH THE PICKGUARD OFF THE GUY WHO WOUND UP BUYING AND RESTORING IT HAD THE NOTION IT MAY HAVE BEEN JIMI'S.

ITS GOT A DISCONNECTED HISTORY WITH ABOUT 5 OWNERS BETWEEN THE RESTORER AND THE TIME HENDRIX USED IT. THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THE ORIGINAL STRINGS WERE RETAINED.

I HOWEVER RETAIN MUCH GAS AFTER EATING TACO BELL A PINT OF STOLI AND A QUART A CHOCO MILK BECAUSE I AM A HOOCHIE POOCHIE MAN, MUTHA FUKKAHS...

YESS..

Well, Hell! I don't know if I was being lied too. All I know is that is what the HARD ROCK LONDON guys were all telling me. Anybody could be lying, but (for my own personal high) I would like to believe that yes, indeed, it is the real guitar....and yes, I touched the same guitar strings Jimi played. Thank you!

Keep in mind, it's just a business and as business men will tell the public something it would like to believe with enough vagueness that it has the possibility of being true, people go for it.

I wonder if the frets are even the ones' Jimi played..
