Arizona store faces suit over Hendrix guitar

The operator of a Tucson, Arizona guitar shop reportedly is being sued to the tune of $750,000 by the estate of Jimi Hendrix over a guitar it procured from a man who says he bought it from Sheldon Reynolds, a former husband of the late guitar great's sister Janie Hendrix.  The estate refutes a claim that the guitar was given to Reynolds by Janie during the marriage and maintains that the instrument never belonged to Jimi's sister.  A document submitted by the estate indicates it first became aware the guitar was missing after being notified by Sotheby's that an individual interested in having it auctioned had contacted them about getting it authenticated. The claim requests that the guitar shop owner be directed to turn the guitar over to the estate and pay damages.
