The Jimi Hendrix Signature Guitar That COULD Have Been - The ACOUSTIC BLACK WIDOW
In this video, we'll do some setup and repairs on a very rare guitar that some accounts claim was Jimi Hendrix's favorite at the time of his death. This is a 1973 Acoustic Control Corp. Black Widow Guitar by Mosrite. Only about 200 of this type exist according to sources, so this will be a rare in-depth look at the Hendrix Signature Model that never was. We'll share the amusing story told by Harvey Gerst, the guitarist for the band Sweetwater, to Tape Op Magazine about how Jimi essentially STOLE his Black Widow and gave him one of his first 4 Fender Strats in exchange. Along the way we'll look at how NOT to set up your zero fret nut, and also how NOT to wire up your guitar. And we will show how to use a common aluminum cupcake pan to shield a guitar cavity. The demo at the end is just done on my 6" Dinosaur bench test amp.
