Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Olympic White, this right-handed Voodoo Child Strat translates Hendrix’s reverse-strung concept into a Custom Shop build. The reversed headstock gives the low E a longer nut-to-string distance for a tighter feel, while the shortened high-E distance supports bending and vibrato. Its three left-handed hand-wound Custom Shop ’69 single coils use reversed pole pieces, and the bridge pickup is set at the reverse angle. Vintage wiring, five-way switching, a select alder body, and a tinted maple Oval C neck complete the configuration.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Right-handed players pursuing the reverse-string geometry associated with the Voodoo Child Strat configuration.
- Parts that call for vintage wiring, five-way switching, and three hand-wound Custom Shop ’69 single coils.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who prefer a conventional headstock and standard bridge-pickup angle.
