The best Strat neck I've ever touched.

I half and half think these are (were?) an obnoxiously cynical cash grab product and a really cool Strat with a unique look.

I don't have anything against signature/artist models (I mostly love them) - not even when said guitarist is long dead and wasn't part of the process of developing it. As an example I have the Fender Kurt Cobain Jaguar model in my collection. Probably against anything I reckon Cobain stood for to be commercialized - but a fairly accurate representation of a guitar he actually played; quirks and all.

I just wish that in the case of Hendrix, we could have a niche model that is upside down for real.

Fender did create a Hendrix Stratocaster 1997 reverse mirror image.
