Jimi Hendrix's Mosrite Joe Maphis 12/6 doubleneck guitar, displayed at the EMP Museum during a special Hendrix event, was reportedly acquired from Manny’s Music shop in New York, a frequent stop for the artist. The guitar, originally white, has aged to a cream color. Hendrix is said to have used it during the recording of "Spanish Castle Magic" in late 1967.
Mentioned in this February 22, 2016 Ultimate Guitar interview.
When you got your Fender Jazzmaster in 1965, did you know you'd found your perfect guitar?
I did. Unfortunately, it was stolen but I got another one right away and I still use it to this day. I also used a Mosrite doubleneck that was given to me as an endorsement due to the success of "The Wild Angels" sound track. The heavy weight started to give me back problems and I only used it exclusively for about a year.
