One of my first, and certainly most profound electric guitar memories was hearing “Are You Experienced“ played on my father’s Heathkit stereo that had been relegated to my brothers room. This is the same system that would play the first time I heard Van Halen I and Rush’s “2112“. Played in my brother Brian’s room, tucked under the eaves of my family’s 1860’s farm house, playing through a single 4’ tall speaker cabinet my father had also built (when he built the system records were still mono), the sound always floored me. ** So many good comments have mentioned already but this is NOT an encyclopedic listing of every guitar that Jimi ever used. Some were just in a single photo and I couldn’t confirm he’d used them on stage or on a recording. So I am glad folks added them here if they were important to their knowledge of Jimi’s journey. And so the journey through the instruments of my guitar heroes continues with this issue. I hope you did it. All the best, Keith
