Hello, I'm an expert in music history and specifically in the works and life of Jimi Hendrix. Let's dive into the details of the guitar he played at Woodstock.

At the Woodstock Festival in 1969, Jimi Hendrix played a few different guitars. The most iconic one was his Fender Stratocaster, which he famously set on fire during a performance at an earlier concert in London. However, the specific guitar he played at Woodstock is often referred to as his "White Strat," which was a 1968 model. This guitar was notable for its reverse headstock and the fact that it was left-handed, which was unusual for a right-handed player like Hendrix. He played it during his legendary rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner."
