Panda guitarist in 1960s hippie clothing, smiling and making a two-fingered peace sign. Inspiration is Seattle native Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970), one of the most influential electric guitar players of all time.
The year 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock music festival in New York, where Hendrix gave a groundbreaking instrumental performance of the United States national anthem, "The Star-Spangled Banner." Panda is making a peace sign with the index and middle fingers of its left paw, as Hendrix famously did with his left hand onstage at Woodstock.
Hendrix typically played lefthanded, using a righthanded guitar turned upside down and restrung for lefthanded playing. His guitar at Woodstock was a cream and white Fender Stratocaster. Panda is playing a similar cream and white guitar lefthanded.
Panda is black and white with curly brown hair. Its costume is inspired by what Hendrix wore at Woodstock. Panda wears a white jacket with white and turquoise fringe, blue pants, a turquoise pendant, gold earrings and a red bandana. Year (2019) appears horizontally on bandana in gold.
