I actually thought he just used stock post-CBS Strats. I gathered that he probably had Roger Mayer and others hot-wire his amps, but hadn't heard anything about his guitars.

Speaking of amps, anybody know what he's using on stuff like Little Wing and Castles Made Of Sand? I assume a Twin or something like that but I've never seen any info about it. Is the John McDermott Sessions book any use for info like this?

well as far i know , you can be sure little wing is on Marschall and strat abuse (very gentle), Castles made of sand may be too , but there is a lot more of overdubbing. Anyway for me it sounds Strat & "marschall" .
In Univibes i've read that first they get some burns amps they destroyed in order to get Marschalls.

Now i was not in the studio (unfortunately). I do know that some of the licks in Hey Joe are done with a Les Paul....

Out of the studio i've seen some live pics with Fender Bassman ( might be a super sound), i've heard about jimi doing Sunn's but quickly get rif of)
. In live context iprefer listening in halls rather than outdoors.

I may have read somewhere that this idea of Jimi's strats having a
"secret" mod is related to the idea of him having a secret or extra
knob installed on the back of his strats. I saw a picture of this alledging
to show this switch installed on the neck plate of his guitar. If you know
about Strats you know this would be the worst place to install this. I
think this was actually a sticker that some mis-informed person saw
in a picture and the rumor grew from there. I don't think fender found
any wiring tricks when they disected his white Woodstock Strat to
recreate their limited edition version several years ago.
