Looks like Jimi Hendrix used a Satrfire one night anyway...

Yes there've been some sightings of him with that axe posted here before.
The paintwork's very distinctive.
Earliest report I ever saw of it was from an impromptu jam session at the Wreck Bar in the Castaways hotel in Florida right after the '68 Miami Pop Festival:

Those are the only 3 shots I've ever seen of him with it.

Somewhere along the line Hendrix commented on his opinion of various guitar company products. I recall him saying positive things about Guild in regards to build quality.

We had a thread on here about an amp he had serviced by a guy in Oregon, and the Quantum Bass amp(s)(did I get that right?) used by Billy Cox at the Band of Gypsys 1969 New Years Eve show...

Yes. Picture of Band of Gypsies NY Eve 1969 Filmore East.

The guitar reference was another occurance. Hendrix did buy a Guild acoustic 12 string at Manny's NYC. Receipt shown in "the bible".
