According to Musicradar.com, JIMI HENDRIX will be inducted into the Fender Hall Of Fame on August 13th at the Tempe Center Of The Arts in Tempe, Arizona.
This will be the fourth such event of its kind. The Fender Hall Of Fame was created in 2007 as an annual celebration of Fender founders, artists, leaders, innovators and other historically significant figures key to company's legacy.
Special guests at the 2010 induction ceremony will include Janie Hendrix, Eddie Kramer, Geoff Fullerton, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Chris Layton.
In a statement, Fender noted that "James Marshall 'Jimi' Hendrix (1942-1970) is universally hailed as the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. In the annals of rock history - and especially in Fender history - he towers above all others as an artist whose life and work were as phenomenal as the era which he helped to define and personify."
