- Summary:
- In The Grail Guitar: the Search for Jimi Hendrix's Purple Haze Telecaster, Chris Adams takes readers on a mystery tour of the late 60's rock world to determine whether a Fender Telecaster bought second hand in a London music store in 1973 is the one used by Jimi Hendrix to record "Purple Haze" in January 1967. The only clues are its left-handed tuners and the salesman's chance remark that the guitar was brought into the shop by a Hendrix roadie. But that is enough to set Chris Adams, off on this fascinating journey into Hendrix history.
