Hendrix owned '67 Arbiter Fuzz Face for sale

Looks like it might hit 10k, which is insane for a pedal, but I get that it has perfect proof that it was Jimi Hendrix owned.

Oh damn, there’s a drum kit that Tony fuckin’ Williams gave to Mitch that Mitch then played with the Dirty Mac and Miles. How ‘bout THAT shit.

If I had that kind of cash floating around I would not hesitate to bid for it, and if I won I would gig the crap out of it.

I hope it does get used by the new owner and not just put in a glass box somewhere.

I wouldn't be surprised if it went for even more than that...like, significantly more.

Pedals have been the boom guitar related artefact of the last 10-15 years, all the boutique pedals, already insane prices on OG vintage fuzzes stem from Hendrix/Page tone obsessives, so an actual Hendrix fuzz, with all the lore that goes with that- going through 20 in order to find the best sounding ones, Roger Mayer modding them for more gain etc...to lots of dudes an actual Hendrix pedal and the mysteries it may contain, circuit wise, transistor HFE wise, mod wise, is legit holy grail stuff.

Watching with interest!
