Through this contact, Dave's name and guitar appeared in the index of 'Electric Gypsy', by Harry Shapiro and Caesar Glebbeek.ĭave then purchased, in the early 1990's, a couple of Jimi's Fender Dual Showman speaker cabinets (one of which is now at Experience Music Project in Seattle) and a Maestro 'Rhythm'n'Sound' effects unit, plus a junk shop find of a Vox wah pedal and Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, both believed to be Jimi's. Through owning this guitar, Dave was contacted by Tony Brown, who was running a Jimi Hendrix archive, and had recently sold the 1960 Zemaitis 12-string used by Hendrix in the 1967 'See My Music Talking' film. Keith Shadwick later documented this brief ownership in 'Jimi Hendrix/Musician'. It became so difficult to play that Dave eventually consigned the guitar to a Sotheby's pop memorabilia auction, where it sold as a Slade/Jimi Hendrix guitar (it had also been played on a record by the group Slade, who were managed by Chas in the 1970's). Dave used the guitar on some recordings with his band The Kane Gang, and struggled for a while, unsuccessfully, to get the guitar's neck to straighten out. The guitar was a 1968 model, and Chas recalled it being given to him by Jimi and Noel Redding in New York in 1968. Personal and trusted relationships were forged throughout the industry.ĭavid Brewis has been involved in the Jimi Hendrix collecting world since the mid-1980's when he purchased a Gibson J200 from Chas Chandler, Jimi Hendrix's manager.
