Great Characters Jimi Hendrix Limited Edition 1942 Rollerball

In 2022, Montblanc honours one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century who is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music: Jimi Hendrix. Inspired by the cover of the 1968 album “Electric Ladyland”, the barrel of this Limited Edition 1942 features a degradé lacquer held by a skeletonized overlay. The cap´s surface symbolizes the material of an amplifier used by Hendrix and holds a lacquer badge. The yellow-gold coated clip is angled to resemble the vibrato bar of an electric guitar. The Montblanc emblem in the cap top is made from precious resin. Another striking detail is the yellow gold-coated barrel ring which draws inspiration from a 1960´s guitar cable – it is engraved with the date of a famous Jimi Hendrix concert.
