Rolling Stones Guitarist Buys Hendrix Axe for Girlfriend

It's long been said that one should never date a musician. This may be an argument in favor, folks.

Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood reportedly splurged on a vintage guitar once played by rock legend Jimi Hendrix, paying £13,000 for the axe, a gift for his young girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova.

A friend of the 20-year-old told Ivanova told the Sun, "she fell in love with the guitar before Christmas but rather than buying it while she was with him, Ronnie wanted to wait and surprise her."

"He loves to treat her with gifts and tokens of his affection," she added. "He has been spending a small fortune on her which she is more than happy to take."

Ever the romantic, Wood supposedly had his and Eka's initials inscribed on the guitar alongside the inscription, "Sweet as a daisy, sweet as a pearl, you'll always be my little kitten."

At least it wasn't a tattoo.
