As being a guitarist myself I can certainly say Jimi would have several different guitars in his arsenal. He would most likely have is own vintage collection as well as newer styles like Ibanez, Jackson and yes probably his own model, not a signature kind like an Fender SRV, but something thats shaped unlike anything else. Im am sure that most if not all of these guitars would be reverse strung righties mixed with lefties that caught his eye. I can see him playing a Ibanez PMC Universe quite a lot though ;0)
After watching part of the Michael Jackson special the other night, I was left to wonder how much of an influence JH would have had on funk. He was definitely heading that way in the last year or two. And furthermore, if plastic surgery would have been in his future. (Was that a hideous display, or what?!)
