Jimi used stock Fender pickups that sounded different because he was left handed and he took right handed Guitars and reversed the guitar and the nut and restrung the guitar that way. The sound was different because the part of the pickup that picked up the high strings would pickup the low strings. You can capture this tone by reversing your pickups.
