Any one know who made Jimi’s CBG?
Tags:
Al Hendrix actually made it for him, but it had a broomstick neck & broom wire string, unlike the one in the pic? I’m sure there’s a joke in there I’m not getting :)
It would seem he did . Even though there is some misinformation , some mixed stories , and unsupported claims stating he played a cbg , the book (Becoming Jimi Hendrix) (in my opinion) seems to have the only legit feel to such claim , even going as far to describe the guitar in question .. here's a screen grab.......................................................................

This also somewhat explains Al , a broomstick, etc being tossed into the stories.
but we may never know the real story .
;-)
ps ..Just to add a monkey wrench into the works .. here's a real photo ,, and jimi seems to be playing a broom . (unfortunatly , many say the photo was kind of a lark and "staged" and part of a 20 photo set they just got fun with this one, and used tools that were at hand due to construction going on at the venue at the time . That explains the hammer , and saw , and broom ... but a rattle ? ...or is that a hammer too...hummmmm.. lol. ;-)
Al also tells a story of the one string broomstick in the Jimi Hendrix movie from 71’ & I’m sure there’s a 1000 Jimi stories, but that’s all here-say cuz we never seen him play anything but a loud fuzzed up guitar most of the time :)
Thank you, all. I wasn’t sure I would get a response, as there isn’t tons of info on Jimi. A great blues player and a great rock star. I was excited to see the pic and I see now how fake it is. Guess I wanted to believe it. So Thanks for the additional info. I enjoyed the thread.
Cheers Tim . If he was alive today , I'm sure fender woulda screwed him over by now .... and he'd be playin a swamp witch ;-)
" but don't quote me on that " lol.
Not that a Swamp Witch is a compromise
lol.. flattery will get you everywhere .. here's a 10 percent coupon on a swampy . ;-)
