Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The black Voodoo Child Strat brings Hendrix’s reverse-strung configuration to a right-handed Custom Shop instrument. A reversed headstock lengthens the low-E path for a tighter response and shortens the high-E path for easier bending and vibrato. Three left-handed, hand-wound Custom Shop ’69 single coils use reversed pole pieces, and the bridge pickup is angled in the reverse orientation. With five-way switching, vintage wiring, an alder body, and a tinted maple Oval C neck, it is a focused take on that distinctive setup.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want reverse headstock string geometry in a right-handed Stratocaster layout.
- Guitar parts requiring five-way access to three hand-wound Custom Shop ’69 single-coil pickups.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players looking for a standard headstock layout and conventional bridge-pickup angle.
