“Jimi called it his Magic Boa because it brought him much luck … as he wore it on … ‘Are You Experienced’ and at his best ever concert, Monterey Pop,” said Ferris on September 1.
Put up for sale at Omega Auctions to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Hendrix’s death, the “magic boa” is expected to fetch 15,000 pounds.

Hendrix first acquired the instrument in the early 1960s following his discharge from the US military in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and notably played it while working as a session musician for a number of bands including the Isley Brothers.
