STORY:

Let's shed some light on this Tribute:

There are two very similar strats that many enthusiasts seem to confuse. The premiere is a red strat destroyed at the Saville Theater in London, on 4 June 1967, nine days before the Monterey Pop Festival. The second, also a red Strat, but repainted white on the front and with a very similar painting. The latter is certainly more recognized thanks to the incredible performance in Monterey: Burned, Raped and Destroyed.

The Strat smashed at the Saville Theater was a '56 model. The way it was painted showswhich must have had a profound meaning for Jimi. Compared to the Monterey guitar, the Saville has a more significant appearance, and has poetic text on the back. Monterey's guitar on the other hand seems to have been done more quickly, and some lyrics are also missing.

The significance of this ornament may have been that Jimi was about to leave his home country. And in a wave of gratitude and gratitude he decided to leave an indelible mark on his English audience, sacrificing something he loved dearly: his Stratocaster.

Saville Stratocaster

On the back the poem:

"May this be love or just confusion

Born out of frustration

Wracked feelings

of not being able to make true physical

love to the universal gypsie queen of

true, free expressed music

My darling guitar, please rest in peace.

Amen."

The Saville Theater show took place three days after the release of the Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper", and Jimi began the show with a cover of the opening song "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". All the Beatles were in the audience and this was one of the most daring moves Jimi ever made in his entire career. Anything less explosive would have been a catastrophe. With the Beatles' manager Brian Epstein, owner of the theater and the Beatles group present in the room, only Jimi could make his debut, without fear with a completely rearranged cover and with a new killer psychedelic solo.

Paul McCartney later declared that the cover Jimi performed as the intro to his show was one of the greatest honors he had ever received.

[Before starting the concertat the Saville Theater in London Hendrix came on stage with the guitar and said:]

Self Eric Clapton is in the audience, could you do me a favor and come on stage and tune this thing?
