Jimi Hendrix fans can now take a selfie with the guitar god — in wax-statue form, that is.
A wax likeness of the legendary musician was unveiled Friday by his brother Leon Hendrix at Madame Tussauds San Francisco.
The ceremony coincided with Jimi Hendrix Day, honoring the 44th anniversary of his death, which occurred September 18, 1970.
A team of 20 artists worked for more than three months to create the lifelike figure, with painstaking detail to Hendrix’s guitar.
The figure got a thumb’s up from Hendrix’s brother, who praised the museum’s work.
“The representation and detail of his figure is uncanny,” he said. “It’s an honor to see him immortalized in this fashion.”
Madame Tussauds San Francisco is in the city’s Fisherman’s Wharf district.
