Just passed on a MIM Hendrix edition Strat

nightcaster · January 31st, 2009, 07:06 PM

for $475.00 in mint condition. Wondering if I should kill myself. They lowballed my trade-in, so I took off, but I'm wondering if I should head back tomorrow. Anyone here got one of these? I'm GASsing for a white/maple strat, but I'm not sure I want to do the full-on reverse neck Jimi Wannabe thing. I was going to settle for a 09 MIM standard with the tinted neck, but the one at GC had badly dressed frets and a flaw in the neck. Y'all think 475 is about right for a minty Jimi Strat?

I usually go by - do I have to have this guitar, can I live without it, does it out play anything else that I've ever played, does/would it sound good through my amp, what kind of shape is it in ? ask yourself those questions. don't judge with your heart only, but reason it out. there was some reason other than the "low ball" trade-in.

seems about right for a Jimi model.....I bought a white lefthanded mexy on flea bay for $200, strung it righty and I absoloutly love the the thing....

I would pass.. i really dont like these things.. the real hendrix vibe is too go for a lefty and string it righty.. not buy a righty wich is a wannabe lefty
