68 fender stratocaster

Fender-USA's second Hendrix-related Stratocaster, this time a Custom Shop model. As few as ten of these models may have been produced.

The similarity of the 68 fender stratocaster  Reissue to the 1980 "Hendrix Stratocaster" is apparent. Note though the use of the "transition" logo on the Custom Shop '68 Reissue headstock and the CBS-style logo on the 1980 model, an appropriate difference since only the "transition" logo was used in 1967.

As with the 1980 version (and the 2001-2002 '68 Reverse Headstock Stratocaster), neither the name nor image of Hendrix appear on the instrument, Certificate of Authenticity , or accessories. The older version of the Custom Shop logo appears on the back of the headstock.
