Jimi was seen playing this Fender Duo-Sonic during a few gigs with Curtis Knight in late 1965 and early 1966. Interestingly, according to Michael Heatley’s book Jimi Hendrix Gear (p. 48), this guitar was apparently a gift from Knight.
Unfortunately, little is known about the Duo-Sonic after Jimi’s time with Knight. It’s likely that Jimi pawned the guitar before leaving for London in late 1966, as the only instrument he brought with him to the UK was a white Stratocaster.
