Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has bought a vintage guitar once used by Jimi Hendrix, according to reports.

Wood is understood to have purchased the £13,000 instrument as a present for his reported 20-year-old girlfriend, Ekaterina Ivanova.

“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,” a friend told the Sun newspaper.

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

Wood, who is due to return to the road with The Faces this year, is said to be giving Ivanova guitar lessons.

The guitarist is reported to be divorcing his wife, Jo, over his alleged relationship with the Russian waitress.
