Gibson Launches JIMI HENDRIX PIano
September 28, 2009, 15 years ago
Gibson has launched The Baldwin Hendrix Custom Grand - a piano appropriately named The Hendrix - retailing for $168,848 US!
The piano was designed by renowned graphic artist Ray Bishop, who has transformed countless NHL hockey goalie masks. According to a description, this mind-bending Baldwin R1 Artist Grand piano features a design inspired by legendary guitarist JIMI HENDRIX. The design itself is based on the Jimi Hendrix Psychedelic Flying V produced by the Gibson Custom Shop in 2006, which was a painstaking recreation of Hendrix’s hand-painted 1967 Flying V. Bishop incorporated the guitar’s swirling psychedelic colors and designs into an original and stunning display that's highlighted by a full-size profile of Hendrix underneath the lid. A fitting tribute to a genuine legend.
