Primarily a [[Stratocaster]] player, Jimi used the Telecaster and he borrowed one from his bass player Noel Redding for songs on Hey Joe, Purple Haze, Fire, The Wind cries Mary and Little Wing. These facts are confirmed by Noel Redding. There is also an interview with Hendrix where he says he owned a 7 year old Telecaster. That might however Been a joke.
