Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Strat NOS Electric Guitar Black (SN:VC0164) Tested and Reviewed
By our senior writer: Elias Kristensen
I've been waiting to write this article for a long time. But today I actually get to review the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix! I, Elias Kristensen, write about musical instruments for a living as a writer, blogger and reviewer and you have probably read my pieces about the Gibson Brite Wires Electric Guitar Strings, Light 10-46 by Gibson and the Fender Premium Picks Sampler - 24 Pack Includes Thin, Medium & Heavy Gauges (Austin Bazaar Exclusive) by Fender. I also did an editorial piece on the Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings (Light). Needless to say, I have quite some experience testing musical instruments and I only want the best to my readers of course. So I was really thrilled when I got this product to write about today!
Introduction
I've been a fan of Fender products1 for years and I was really looking forward to finally trying the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix and reviewing it for you guys. I found the best deal on this site on Amazon (You can buy the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix here.) and I didn't hesitate a moment. So I reached for my creditcard and bought one straight away. I was glad it had free shipping and 24 hours delivery when I ordered it because I couldn't wait! When my Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix arrived the next day I ripped open the packaging and was really happy with what I saw. As I said before I'm a huge Fender enthusiast but I can be very critical and objective too, especially when writing for my readers. :-) After testing it for about a week now I am confident that I have the authority to write this piece. So read on and I will tell you all about my findings and if you should buy this thing.
Summary
I mostly begin with a summary when reviewing musical instruments, then I write a list of the positive and negative points of the product after which I'll explain my rating and have a conclusion and of course the resources I used writing this article. So as made clear in the previous paragraphs, I am quite fond of the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix. Fender really went all out with this one. The quality is unmatched, and to be honest; it just looks amazing. I know looks aren't the most important aspect of musical instruments, but it does need to be talked about. And I'm sure it will when more people start to look at this masterpiece. The price alone that Amazon offers was and is by far the lowest, and should be enough reason to grab your wallet so make sure to check them out. I did test a lot of similar products before, I must admit none come even close to the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix. Just the functinality alone leaves all competition in the cold and the quality also proves to be up there. The customer service of Fender2 is known to always be very happy to assist if you have any question so if you ever need them they'll be really tolerant and helpful in looking for a solution. So just a quick recap; only good things to say about the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Strat NOS Electric Guitar Black (SN:VC0164). Do finish this article tho because you there is sort of a surprise in the end!
Pros
This pros list of the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix could be much longer, and is way longer than the conslist, but the description3 this site has will probably already say it all. Here is just a little piece: "With his unconventional playing techniques and groundbreaking sound, the late, great Jimi Hendrix has made a major impact on the world of music as we know it. Introducing the Jimi Hendrix Voodoo Child Strat from the Fender Custom Shop, this Strat will allow you to become experienced with Hendrix-inspired features and produce that distinctive Hendrix-esque tone that altered the world of rock 'n' roll forever. With vintage inspiration through". So without further ado, this is the very much incomplete list:
- The amazing looks.
- The quality is great.
- It is everything it promises to be.
- $4600 is just a steal comparing to the alternatives.
- There is no brand like Fender when it comes to musical instruments.
- The durability is very nice, so better for the environment.
- In this price range, no other product coming out will be matching the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix for a long time to come.
Cons
I had a tough time thinking of cons for the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix. Better prices are of course always nice and I don't know if you actually need this luxurious quality4. That's a thing only you can figure out for yourself. However, the list:
- Maybe the aesthetics of the product are not your style.
- It's a premium product so chances are you don't need this abundance of quality.
- The Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix is loved by a lot of professionals so soon everybody will probably have one.
Rating

People in other reviews I've seen online sometimes say that Fender can never top the success of this product and maybe they're right, but maybe we can just dream ahead and see what they come up with next. So let's just enjoy the Fender Custom Shop Jimi Hendrix while it's hot!
