Eric Johnson Plays a Strat Made for Hendrix
In this episode, Eric discusses regretful guitar mods, develops his love of Esquires, plays a one-of-a-kind Stratocaster that was made for Jimi Hendrix, and shares some influential licks from Wes Montgomery, Eric Clapton, Jerry Reed, and more. The guitars in this episode are famous in their own right— a 1966 Fender Marauder prototype, 1952 Copper Esquire, and 1969 Solid Rosewood Fender Stratocaster that was made for Jimi Hendrix (very last guitar played in the video at 6:19). The Rosewood Strat (built by Philip Kubicki) was intended for Hendrix, but he passed away prior to the guitars completion.
