Jimi Hendrix

Smashed in Memphis, Jimi Hendrix guitar headed for National Museum of African American Music

“Jimi Hendrix is one of the most important figures in American pop culture, not just American music,” said Dr. Steven Lewis, curator at NMAAM. “This guitar provides a physical reminder of the power of his music, his personality and his brand of self-expression that was as influential in the 1960s as it is today.”
