VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The music and legacy of Jimi Hendrix—Seattle’s original “West Coast Seattle Boy”—is set to be honored with the debut of JOI Guitar’s Harmonic Hendrix Home Guitars™ series of custom hand-crafted, acoustic guitars.
Limited to a strict production run of only 10 instruments; each acoustic guitar in the Harmonic Hendrix Home Guitars™ series will be individually hand-crafted using the world’s highest quality tone-woods along with an exclusive selection of high-grade reclaimed wood salvaged from the first home purchased by the Hendrix family in the Spring 1953.
Reuben Forsland of JOI Guitars is pleased to work with Authentic Hendrix, LLC, to produce this exquisite, limited edition guitar collection.
Janie Hendrix, President & CEO of Authentic Hendrix, LLC explains, "Jimi's guitar was an extension of himself … a part of who he was. What makes this JOI Hendrix Home Guitar so special and meaningful is that each limited edition guitar contains an actual piece of Jimi's legacy and family heritage, the place he called home. So, in a sense, it's a part of Jimi. And we are deeply moved by the entire concept."
JOI Guitars is pleased to donate a portion of the proceeds of every Harmonic Hendrix Home Guitar to the Jimi Hendrix Park Foundation.
Pre-sales are now being accepted by JOI Guitars, with the first two instruments to be revealed at the NAMM show this January 2018.
