0:10: Music?
0:11: That’s right.
0:12: The instruments.
0:13: I’m going to be covering one famous guitar.
0:16: Jimi Hendrix’s Izabella.
0:18: Jim got his guitar in 1968 a decade after he got his first guitar.
0:23: Kind of around the same time he started making music.
0:26: Izabella is an Olympic White Stratocaster.
0:29: Izabella is a right-handed guitar but Jimmy’s left-handed.
0:33: Weird.
0:33: Right.
0:34: Well, Jimmy played his guitar upside down.
0:37: Izabella is worth around $2 million.
0:40: That’s more than a Lamborghini.
0:42: Wow.
0:43: Back in 2019, the Fender custom shop made a replica using 250 pieces.
0:49: Do you wanna hear Izabella sing?
0:51: Here’s what she sounds like live at Woodstock.
1:47: Many people think Jimmy was buried with his guitar, but I am here to confirm that.
1:51: That is not true.
1:53: My name is DJ Insomnia on KXCI’s Bonus Tracks and I’ve been talking about Jimi Hendrix’s famous Stratocaster Isabella.
