This Fender Stratocaster serial L14985 was manufactured in 1963. It  was owned  and used by Jimi Hendrix, and comes with a notarized letter from his brother, Leon Hendrix, which indicates, that Jimi had this guitar at his home in Benedict Canyon, L.A, in 1968, and that he used it in Juggy Sound studios in New York.

The package also includes an additional letter from Leon with more info: that the guitar was subsequently given to the studio owner and was used as an in-house instrument until the owner’s passing. Furthermore it also comes with photos of Leon holding and playing this guitar. This is a real “insider” guitar with an unique provenance, signed and notarized, from Jimi’s own brother, Leon Hendrix.

It’s the real deal!

Fibenare Guitars

On Winter NAMM 2011 we had the pleasure of meeting Gábor Goldschmidt from renowned Hungarian guitar company, Fibenare Guitars.
Gábor tells us about the Fibenare company and shows us their new beautiful line of guitars.
Fibenare Guitars was founded by the Benedek Brothers, Attila, Csaba and Árpád

All of the Benedek familily are musicians and have all studied classical music throughout the years in their hometown, Kecskemét.
Thanks to its musical tradition, Kecskemét is well-known all over the world for its musical education and Zoltán KODÁLY. His approach and methods are used today in more than 50 countries world wide.!

Around 1990, The Benedek Brothers was encouraged by their father, József Benedek, to start building their own guitars. From early on the three brothers were very interested in rock, blues, jazz and ofcourse electric guitars – because of the iron curtain Gibson and Fender guitars were very expensive and good ones were very hard to find around this time.
At VintageandRare we are proud to be working with Fibenare Guitars and hope this video will inspire you.

All the best,
Nicolai & team.
