The Pawn Stars Wanted This Insanely Expensive Jimi Hendrix Item

After checking the serial number and comparing the guitar with photos from years ago, the expert was able to verify that the 1963 Fender Stratocaster guitar did indeed belong to Jimi Hendrix. Then, Amoroso told Rick Harrison that the price of the guitar could be anywhere from $750,000 to $1 million. Fans of Hendrix know that such a rise in price for the guitar is definitely accurate given the history behind it. Hendrix had the ability to basically make the guitar an extension of his body, even bending it while playing certain notes. When the Voodoo Child owned the guitar, he would mainly play it in the studio. It ended up being used on several records before it was given to the chief engineer of Juggy Sound Studio. When Hendrix passed, the owner and his associate received the ax.

Harrison would initially offer the owner $450,000, to which the owner would turn down. Disappointed but not out, Harrison would make one more offer of $550,000. Knowing the value of the item, the owner easily turned down the second offer. The crew at "Pawn Stars" would lose out on one of the greatest pieces of music memorabilia while the owner would take his chances somewhere else.
