Jimi Hendrix's 1965 Fender Stratocaster, which he set alight after a landmark performance at London's Finsbury Astoria in March 1967, and which is estimated to be worth over a million dollars.
Hendrix was taken to hospital after the show with minor hand injuries, during which the guitar was taken to the offices of his aide Tony Garland. It was kept at Garland's parents garage in Hove in southern England, before Garland's nephew unearthed it in 2007.
"When Hendrix set this guitar alight it marked a watershed in live performance. He raised the bar of what could be expected and paved the way for a series of imitations and pastiche that exist to this day," Owen said. |
