In his earliest days, Hendrix played a Danelectro Shorthorn. Popularly named "Betty Jean," there have been some discussions whether this was a U-1 or 3012 model. But thanks to the color, it has been confirmed that this was actually a 3012 produced either in 1958 or 1959. This was reportedly his second electric guitar. It featured only one single-coil pickup.
