Any takers please? I was thinking it was just a marshall plexi into a fuzz face pedal? Thanks for the help.

I'd think a hollowbody into a Marshall with the guitar volume low, no fuzzface, and a delay of some sort. Neck pickup for most of it.

I believe he played a Gibson on that.
It was a Hoefner hollowbody, that legend has falling apart immediately after the session.

In all seriousness, I'd get one of those DigiTech Jimi Hendrix pedals...

IIRC, I got that tidbit from the liner notes of "The Essential Jimi Hendrix, Vol. 1" back in HS. AFAIK, it hasn't been debunked yet.
Nobody's ever come forward to say what model it was. Maybe Eddie Kramer is secretly snatching up all known examples before he releases that information....

I'll bet Jimi grabbed whatever tone toys he had available to him whenever he was in the studio - and he could probably get a good tone out of a cigar box guitar or a wax-paper-and-comb kazoo. Genius is like that.

Funny, that picture looks like a Gibson L5-CES with staple pickups.

Ah, the Club 40. That's already worth big bucks as a "Beatle guitar" isn't it?

Yup, he probably flipped it like Paul too. BTW, there is only a neck PU on the C 40.
Good thing I didn't say bridge pickup.

Thanks guys. I guess I'll have to find a nice hollow body.
The neck pickup of a strat works close enough for rock and roll.
I mean, it worked for Jimi.

I play the song with the neck pickup of whatever guitar I have in my hands at the time.
It's more about the song than the guitar anyway.
FWIW, always seems like 'copping a tone' is more about the amp/effects than the guitar to me; though I agree it is difficult to duplicate a hollow body sound with a solid body.
