Jim Dunlop Jimi Hendrix Fillmore Guitar Strap
This guitar strap is inspired by a specific concert at Fillmore East in 1970 where Jimi Hendrix’s performance turned back to the Blues. This iconic gig saw Hendrix reach deep for an epic psychedelic-blues jam rendition of Machine Gun.
The strap has a leather back and heavy leather ends with chunky steel adjustment buckle.
The Jim Dunlop Authentix Hendrix range of straps have been designed to depict various iconic moments in the career of one of guitar’s most famous stars.
Here’s what Jim Dunlop say:
“By the end of the 1960s, Jimi Hendrix stood at the musical center of a cultural revolution. Usher in a new decade at the Fillmore East on January 1, 1970, he decided to get back to the blues. Jimi’s performance was uncharacteristically still, his head bowed in deep concentration, while his guitar howled and roared with visceral gravity to the rhythms of bassist Billy Cox and drummer Buddy Miles. His masterful version of “Machine Gun” was captured that night for future generations to experience the power of music as message.”
