Brown marble Fender medium guitar pick personally-owned and -used by Jimi Hendrix. The pick was originally obtained from Hendrix's former girlfriend, Emilie 'Rainbow' Touraine, who explained that Hendrix routinely played guitar at her Southern California home whenever he visited, with this particular pick one he happened to leave behind. In fine, well-worn condition.
Accompanied by a color photo of Touraine standing with 'Axis: Bold as Love,' a horse that Hendrix and Touraine had purchased together in early 1970. The reverse of the photo reads: “Jimi's Horse: ‘Axis: Bold As Love,’ Born May 12, 1970, Morab Breed, (Half Arabian, Half Morgan), National Champion." Touraine was quite influential in Hendrix's musical life upon their first meeting in 1969, as she fostered his already keen fascination with a school of thought based on musical notes having color; a concept he shared with a Disc and Music Echo journalist: 'I want to get color into music. I'd like to play a note and have it come out a color.'
