Jimi Hendrix Honoured By Fender

Jimi Hendrix is to be honoured by the company behind the guitars he used to play.

Bosses at Fender Musical Instruments Corp. have announced the late rock star will be inducted into the Fender Hall of Fame next month.

The Hall of Fame was created in 2007 as an annual celebration of Fender founders, artists and other historically significant figures.

Hendrix's stepsister Janie and the rocker's longtime producer Eddie Kramer will be among the special guests at the Arizona induction ceremony.
