Authentic Hendrix LLC, a Jimi Hendrix Family Company, announced today the introduction of three branded Jimi Hendrix Electric Guitar Packages as part of an exclusive agreement between the Gibson Guitar Corp. and Authentic Hendrix properties.

Specifically chosen for its innovation, quality and global impact, Authentic Hendrix LLC began conversations with the Gibson Guitar Corp. in 2008 to develop guitar packages that would serve as a tribute to the musician who many have called the world's greatest guitarist of all time. The effort is also part of preserving his legacy so that generations to come could develop and appreciate his techniques and musicianship. Each guitar will have the Jimi Hendrix signature and logo on it and will come with special added value components only offered with the specific package.

Gibson Guitar and Authentic Hendrix LLC announced the launch of three exclusive Jimi Hendrix electric guitar packages.

The Jimi Hendrix "Experience" Electric Guitar Package is the ultimate tribute to the greatest guitarist who ever lived. The company has combed over historical details and taken the best from more than 100 years of guitar making so that every guitarist – from the beginner to the seasoned player – can find his or her inner Hendrix with this package. The "Experience" package will come with an official "Jimi Hendrix signature electric guitar" and all the necessary accessories and some fun extras including a Jimi Hendrix Signature "Voodoo Child" amplifier, a Foxey Fuzz pedal, a deluxe padded gig bag, an instructional DVD, an electronic tuner, two guitar cables, a Hendrix inspired strap, three picks and a USB drive containing exclusive Hendrix media content. In addition consumers will receive a Hendrix inspired tie-dyed tee-shirt and bandana. True to its name, this guitar package will give the music enthusiast the ultimate Hendrix experience.

MOST METAL GUITARS EVER MADE by Cosmo Lee @ Invisible Oranges

I am a complete guitar nerd, and love scoping out what axes bands left on stage. The more ridiculous and aggressive, the better. This is metal, after all. Below are my 10 picks for the most metal guitars ever made. I employed one rule: all guitars had to have three-dimensional appeal. They couldn't just be normal guitars with fancy paint jobs. You'll quickly see what I mean by three-dimensional.

Ikon Customs Slime Guitar - Trey Azagthoth Model

Houston-based Ikon Customs made this one-of-a-kind guitar as a tribute to Morbid Angel's Trey Azagthoth. It accurately captures the slimy neon green aesthetics of the Domination album. Carved into the top of this Ibanez Universe are the faces from the Altars of Madness cover. Sick!

KxK Karl Sanders signature WarriorV

KxK Guitars, another custom shop, made this radical design for Nile's Karl Sanders. It's futuristic, like Egypt via Stargate. The WarriorV name is apt, as the headstock is rather spear-like. See Sanders wield it here and here. Also, check out its various options, like different woods, ankh inlays, and a mind-blowing double-neck (here and here).

Ibanez SHRG1Z - HR Giger Limited Edition

The SHRG1Z is Ibanez' second collaboration with HR Giger, creator of Alien and pal of compatriot Tom G. Warrior. The first guitar collaboration was more along the lines of "fancy paint job." This one has detailed engraving in the body, which this time is the super-sexy Ibanez S shape. I love the "barbed wire" inlay snaking through the fingerboard. For more pictures, see here, here, and here.

Emerald Alien

Speaking of aliens, here is the Alien by Emerald Guitars, an Irish custom shop. Above is the super-sexy back of the guitar. You can see its front here. I learned about this guitar (and several others here) through the fantastic Guitar Noize blog. Check out also this post about another Emerald Guitar called the Bahamut, which is even crazier. The design is a dragon with frickin' lasers on its head.

Amfisound Routa - Arctic Kelo finish

This guitar, by Finnish guitar makers Amfisound, screams "pagan metal." Truly, it is worthy of serenading Valhalla. A blacksmith forges the metallic parts, and the overall finish takes eight months to complete. You can see more pictures and read about it here.

Amfisound Lopashnikov 2008

Amfisound also made this custom baritone guitar for Sami Lopakka (Sentenced, KYCK). Its body comes from a replica of a Kalashnikov AK-47. This beauty has neckthrough construction, an Earvana nut, locking tuners, and a single EMG81 pickup. Talk about machine-gun riffing! See more pictures and read about it here.

Johnson AK87/91

Speaking of gun guitars, here is an absurd one by Johnson Guitars. It is one of three machine gun designs; see the other two here. Johnson makes all sorts of strange guitars, including fighter plane and Egyptian shapes. Maybe Karl Sanders should look into the latter.

ESP Armor Custom

The next three guitars come from the lunatics at ESP's Custom Shop. It must be a nice job to turn people's deranged ideas into reality. (See, for example, the least metal guitar ever.) The Armor Custom guitar screams "power metal." You can see a nice photo of it here.

ESP Shinigami

Careful with that axe, Eugene. See more photos here.
