*This ...
... is the first of two Big-ass Hendrix Special Issues that I edited as the editor of Guitar World. You can actually find the entire issue, page-by-page, here: First the cover - contests.guitarworld.com/gwhistory/pageview.php?picname=1...
Then, my Editor's Note to the issue: contests.guitarworld.com/gwhistory/pageview.php?picname=5...
and finally, every single glorious page of the issue: contests.guitarworld.com/gwhistory/flash.php?currentissue...
... until you come to page 54, with the axology of Jimi's PINK STRAT and its provenance that started the whole voyage: dl.guitarworld.com/gw_history/09_85a/52_fs.jpg
The issue in question was Sept. '85, the first of two monumental Hendrix tributes, and the discussion of two V's Jimi was associated with can be found here (basically the left-hand and the right-hand parts of this magazine spread):

And then you get to the second Big Special issue, which inspired me to finally write this book:
Now dig this ...
I just posted a plethora of Jimi juiciness on my page, which is referred to as the www.flickr.com/photos/doctor_noe/sets/7215760 Jimi set above.
PS, Bill Nitopi, who Stevie Ray Vaughan called "The Keeper of the Frame," Has this to say about our collaboration on these Guitar World Special Issues:
Thanks Noe,
Nice photos...
Yea, it's been 20 years since it came out... but we started working on that GW issue in Jan. 87.
Historic, no one has ever come close to that in any type of publication.
I still remember the look on the face of Dennis Page coming into your office upon realizing we spent almost $10.000 on photos for a single issue.
GW '88 is still looked upon by collectors as the greatest accumulation of Hendrix photos in a single magazine or book.
Thanks again,
Love ya,
Bill
How do ya like that, peoples peoples peoples.
God Bless,
Noe the G
Founding Editor of Guitar World
