But that's not how the world works, and that's how those guitars can hold their values so well, when others strugle to re-sell for half price. Recently i bought a 2002 fender stratocaster standard made in mexico. i bought it really cheap, just wanted to try it and have a quick profit. I only had it for 4 days and sold it for an extra 30% of what i paid and still very cheap. But those 4 days i had it with me... oooh how i missed a strat sound. I don't own any single coil guitar at the moment, and i do miss it. i must say this was the best fender that had passed by my hands and i've owned an USA telecaster which i never liked the body porportions. And i didn't like how thick the arm was, almost a baseball bat, but it was growing in to me. And everytime i looked at it on the wall i thought "dang! i wanna play that guitar!" so it was very motivating. Ok, electronics were crap, knobs were noisy and the bridge pickup had some problem, but still i just wanted to play that guitar. And that's how a guitar should make you feel .)

So i buy a lot of guitars. I guess it's a common practice for any serious guitar player, I just like to try everything i can get my hands on. Long time ago i understood that there is other guitars beyond Fender strats and Gibson Les Paul, but having owned myself a few and played a few more i must say although there are great gibson' and fender' axes you can find as good if not better guitar for a fraction of the price.

Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child by Andy Aledort
Andy has to be one of the most accurate transcribers of Jimi, he's the closest i've heard to the album songs and explains every step on the way. Oh and i believe he also played with the band of gypsys.
check out the respective video of Andy playing. Can't be embed unfortunatly, so you'll have to jump to youtube:
