NAMM 2024: Calling all vintage guitar enthusiasts! We’ve got some exciting news for you. Dunlop has recently revealed a new addition to its accessory range – the Jimi Hendrix Pop Festival strap. This iconic strap is a reproduction of the patterned strap that Hendrix famously paired with his Monterey Pop Strat. If you’re a fan of vintage vibes, this is the perfect accessory for you.
The design of this strap is a nod to Jimi Hendrix’s unforgettable performance at the 1967 music festival in Monterey. Whether you’re a Hendrix fan or just appreciate retro styles, this strap featuring the distinctive bright woven pattern and a chunky metal buckle is a must-have accessory.
If you’re thinking this isn’t Dunlop’s first foray into vintage straps, you’d be correct. In fact, the company previously released a range of five reproduction straps in 2017, featuring designs inspired by iconic concerts such as Fillmore, Live at Maui, Shreveport, and Woodstock. However, the Monterey Pop option certainly stands out due to the historical significance of the event.
But wait, there’s more! At this year’s show, we’re noticing a trend of small and very affordable artist-endorsed signature products, offering guitarists the chance to add a touch of their favorite artists’ style to their collections without breaking the bank. This is a welcome development, especially after recent financial strains on musicians and music enthusiasts alike.
Ready to get your hands on this cool and iconic strap? The Dunlop Authentic Hendrix Pop Festival Strap will hit the market on February 1 with a price tag of $41.99.
