HENDRIX Guitar Fails To Sell At Auction

June 6, 2003

A guitar owned and played by the late Jimi Hendrix has remained unsold at auction after failing to reach its reserve price, a spokesperson for auctioneers Cooper Owen said Thursday (June 5).

The 1965 Sunburst Fender Stratocaster was billed as the highlights of a "Rock Legend" sale, with the auctioneers hoping to achieve a sale price of up to $225,000.

The reserve price was not revealed.

Hendrix, considered by many the greatest rock guitar player ever, was born in Seattle but shot to worldwide prominence after finding success in Britain with the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE.

In September 1970, he died at the age of 27 in a London apartment after overdosing on sleeping pills.
