Great Characters Jimi Hendrix Limited Edition 1942 Rollerball

In 2022, Montblanc paid tribute to Jimi Hendrix, one of the most influential electric guitarists of the 20th century.

The design of the Limited Edition 1942 takes cues from the 1968 album Electric Ladyland. The barrel has a gradient lacquer with a skeleton overlay. The cap surface recalls the look of Hendrix’s amplifier and includes a lacquer badge.

The yellow gold-coated clip is shaped like a guitar’s vibrato bar. On top of the cap, the Montblanc emblem is made of precious resin. The barrel ring, also gold-coated, is inspired by a 1960s guitar cable and engraved with the date of a well-known Hendrix concert.
