Given the obsession with all things Hendrix, and their ludicrous attempt to make a Gibson Hendrix sig Stratocaster, you'd think they'd keep this baby in their lineup. It's a Flying V that was made exactly to Jimi's specifications. The arrow fret markers were allegedly chosen to reflect his native American ancestry. The Gibson logo on the headstock was unique to this V. And, of course, it's left handed.
Gibson has made a few copies of it in the past, but most that I've seen from the early nineties had stop tail-pieces:
