AN EDITION FULL OF DETAILS
The cap, in cream resin paying homage to his legendary Fender Stratocaster, appears on the three Limited Edition models in fountain pen, ballpoint and rollerball formats. The geometric pattern evokes its embroidered strap and the clip completes the rock aesthetic by emulating the tremolo with which you get its characteristic sound.
The black precious resin barrel mirrors the surface of your Wahwah pedal with the WAH engraving.
The red resin is a nod to the indicator light on the Marshall amplifier that he used in his concerts.
Two iconic moments from his short career are recorded in the clip: the title of his first album “Are you experienced” as well as the date 18-6-67 in which he had his most iconic performance at the Monterrey Festival.
The cap is finished with the Montblanc emblem together with an engraving of the position of the fingers on the frets to start the Purple Haze chords, known as the devil's tritone.
As a final touch, a handmade gold nib contains a portrait of the artist.
