Errr, what’s thinking behind Gibson making a Hendrix tribute guitar when he played exclusively (except for some very, very early tunes in small numbers) Fender strats?

Jimi was a workaholic. He asphyxiated on his own guitar....?

In case anyone hasn't seen it, on Youtube, if you search for "shotgun" you can find several nice videos about shooting, and also a very early clip of Hendrix performing on TV. He's just a guitarist in a band, backing up two extremely gay black guys singing "shotgun". From 1965 or so. It's hilarious.
But the guitar playing is nice.

When we were preparing the Woodstock DVD we found out somebody had been standing on stage and filmed the whole show in black and white. People seemed to be in the right place at the right time when it came to Jimi, Someone videotaped HOURS of Woodstock footage (including a good chunk of the Who's set, just missing the footage of Abbie Hoffman getting bayonetted by Pete Townsend's guitar but catching Pete on mic afterwards).
I hear they needed some of this tape for the latest Hendrix/Woodstock DVD to fill out some of the set for which there was no filmed (movie film) footage.

A photo of the guitar would have been nice. Didn’t see one on Gibson’s site.

I’m psyched at more Jimi being out there.

Just found this photo:
What cracks me up is that the guitar Hendrix is playing on the box is a Fender Stratocaster. They could've at least photoshopped their shameless fraud over the guitar that Jimi actually played.

What could possibly add to the enormity of Jimi Hendrix’s music legacy in 2009 — 39 years after the still-ruling sonic genius of electric guitar departed the planet?
