Jimi Hendrix is widely regarded as the most innovative guitarist of the rock era. This limited edition Gibson Custom Shop 1967 SG Custom accurately replicates the right-handed guitar (strung lefty) that Hendrix played on The Dick Cavett Show on September 9, 1969 - one of Jimi's rare television interviews and performances.
