Tribute to Jimi Hendrix-1963/1964 Oly White Strat, Vintage Concert Posters, Marshall!

[Dire Wolf]

I did a photo shoot last week with a bunch of vintage guitars, 1st edition Monterey/Fillmore/Woodstock posters, and a 50w Marshall head with a 4x12 cab from 1973. The Strat is my 1963/1964(more details soon). Even though it's not righty, it still conveys the White Strat theme of guitars that Jimi played. He actually owned a righty 63 Strat which looked like this one, auctioned a while ago.

The other guitars photographed during the session include: 1965 CAR Strat, 1952 Les Paul Goldtop(see separate thread under Vintage Les Pauls), 1956 Fender Esquire, 1957 Gretsch 6120, 1963 Gibson Firebird III(a very special tribute to Johnny Winter-see separate thread in Other Gibsons).
Let me know what your favorite pic below is - I'm thinking of changing my feature pic on my web site!

You must have bought those posters a long while ago, as most of them are unavailable now, except as reprints, or VERY pricey originals. I didn't start collecting Fillmore posters until 1988 and BG105 was only available as a 2nd Printing at that time, at least from the sources I was looking at. Still, I treasure it. Even those 2nd Printings are getting up there in value, these days. I couldn't tell from the photos, but I hope you have them behind UV-blocking Plexiglas, as those old posters will actually fade behind glass, even in rooms that don't get direct sunlight.

The posters are all in a dark room - they were just brought out for the photo shoot.

They keep me in a dark room and I'm not too bright...

I like the (nearly) mirror image Strats pic the best.
Nice symmetry, with the guitars and the posters.
