Description
Jimi Hendrix is widely recognized as the most innovative guitarist in rock music, a player who took the guitar to new heights.
Epiphone and Gibson Custom Shop have collaborated to bring you a reissue of the guitar Jimi Hendrix “Love Drops” Flying, which Jimi used frequently from 1967 to 1969.
This guitar was originally finished in sunburst, but after being refinished in ebony, Jimi Hendrix himself hand-painted it with psychedelic graphics.
Not only has the paint been reproduced, but Jimi Hendrix’s signature is printed on the back of the headstock, giving it a very special feel.
It has a one-piece neck with a round C profile, a laurel fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets. After all, it’s equipped with a short Maestro Vibrola, so many people are excited about it, right? The pickups are Gibson Custombuckers, CTS pots, Mallory tone capacitors, Switchcraft 3-way pickup select switch and jack, etc.
The sound and specs are excellent. A dedicated hard case is also included.
This is a left-handed model, and we only have one in stock, so if you're interested, don't miss it.

from 20 reviewsVery quick mailing/delivery … packaged very thoroughly with abundance of bubble wrap 👍 the item in pristine condition… very easy and professional transaction… all the way from Japan even! Would definitely do business with them again.

Have done some test, love Takatsuki and also very responsive and trusted seller! Already bought 4 300b's of them and tested well with my RoeTest v11 professional tube Tester!

I bought this guitar and I am very happy with it. It had to travel half of the globe, but the shipping was fast and the seller answered all my questions via e-mail.
The guitar itself has a chunky Fretboard, but is playable with ease. As far I can tell, the electronics seem to be all good, stamp on the pickup is right, it needs more playing for further statements.
And to my biggest surprise: the guitar came almost perfectly intonated fresh out of box.
I highly recommend to at least get in touch with the seller if you're interested in one of his products.
