Built by hand at Marshall's factory in Bletchley, UK using quality plywood and wrapped in black Tolex, this stack’s one-of-a-kind anniversary design features black and purple in a psychedelic pattern across the fret and control panel, complemented by a purple LED indicator. Drawing on Hendrix’s distinct personal style and the silver jewelry that became part of his visual identity, intricate silver beading is woven throughout, detailing the knobs, handle, logo, grille, and back panel. The all-seeing eye badge, derived from Hendrix’s fascination with the third eye and expanded vision, sits on the top and bottom of the stack, completing the design.

The anniversary edition Major V on-ear headphones come in a sleek black finish, elevated with psychedelic graphics and subtle Hendrix-inspired details. A striking purple oil-on-water design flows throughout the inner headband and ear cups, finished with the all-seeing eye motif.

Continuing the purple oil-on-water design across the sleeve, and through the grille, the Hendrix 60th Anniversary Edition Emberton III Bluetooth speaker pays homage to Hendrix with the all-seeing eye that appears in silver on the media jog and is accompanied by purple LEDs. The silicone sleeve is hand-dipped using a water transfer print, making each piece entirely unique. With more than a full day of listening on a single charge, there’s plenty of time to play through Hendrix’s extraordinary body of recorded music.

This latest unveiling marks the final release in the Marshall x Hendrix 60th Anniversary Collection. The Major V and Emberton III editions carry street prices of $159.99 and $179.99 respectively.
