DISC Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Strat, O-Wh #VCO356 Overview
The Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Strat is a rebirth of the guitar that has inspired generations of musicians. Taking the iconic Strat shape and flipping it upside down to suit his leftie style, Jimi's mirrored aesthetics captured imaginations. And Fender's renowned Custom Shop have recreated that in exact detail for right-handed players! Not only that, but you'll channel the sounds of the Woodstock legend through a set of custom tuned, hand-wound pickups. Modelled after a '69 set, these sing with Jimi's soulful guitar voice.

Voodoo child sonics
The tone of a music titan. Many have tried to replicate the sizzling twang of Hendrix's iconic guitar, and now Fender's Custom Shop have succeeded. Doing the hard work of replicating the voicings with expert precision, these pickup masters have created hand-wound '69 Strat single coils which sing with a vintage warmth and clarity.

Vintage accuracy

This topsy-turvy stance was immediately noticeable and eye-catching for any viewers, and now it's available for right-handed players!
