The thing that jumps out at me about the Jimi/Edwad comparison is that Jimi had a 4 year run....4 years!.... and a shitload of "new" unreleased material that he left behind....There aren't many people who don't know who he is...or was...Everyone looked up to him, even his peers,
Ed, on the other hand, probably the greatest rhythm guitar player ever, made the two-handed technique famous overnight, nearly every band copied him, and by the end of the eighties, everyone was doing it gratuitously. So much so that it actually became out of "style".
You can't say that about Hendrix...he never went out of style...can you dig it?

Elvis even has a strat that makes his toast in the morning !!
The tone controls adjust the heating elements so
you can get *the* perfect slice of toast !
The whammy bar allows for convenient lowering and
raising of the toast.BABY PANA 2 IS Coming !! All across the land, let the love and beer flow !
Love ya Mary Frances!Comment

Dying is good for the career or at least the myth though.
Just think how big Eddie Van Halen would be now if he had choked to death on Hagars cock back in 1985...Comment

I'm a lefty so I have a Strat I put together with an SRV body with a cool early custom shop small headstock rosewood Yngwie neck, 69 Woodstock pups, gold anodized pickguard and all gold hardware...
It's perfect to play lefty because the SRV body has a left-hand tremolo...
Almost every one of my Strats are pieced together by me with mostly all real USA Fender bodies, necks and hardware, just different pickups...
The only all original Strat is a '77 Lefty Sunburst and the only right hand guitar I have is a real '55 that is currently on the work bench...
Then I have all sorts of other guitars including a Tony Iommi SG that I changed all the hardware from black to chrome and a metallic pickguard and vintage green tuners...
That guitar looks and sounds great and I don't usually like Humbuckers, but the USA Iommi pups are so smooth, quiet, sharp looking and the neck pickup sounds like a single coil...
I also have several basses, like a rare lefty midnight blue with all black hardware and black binding Ric 4001 bass that everyone likes, a great sounding MIJ Jazz Bass...
Then I have various acoustics and parts and pickups galore...
Don't even ask about my amps...
