Jimi Hendrix Stratocaster Sacrifice
In 1967, at the end of his career making performance, Jimi Hendrix set fire to his Fender Stratocaster. Rather than me explaining why he did it, I'll let him:
"I decided to destroy my guitar at the end of a song as a sacrifice. You sacrifice things you love. I love my guitar."
Jimi is probably the most famous guitar player of all time. He called the Stratocaster 'the best all round guitar', and it certainly served him well - helping him on his way to international fame and introducing a whole new style of playing.
My model recreates one of the most famous photos in rock music. Just search 'Jimi Hendrix Guitar Burning' for a comparison :)
Of course I don't recommend burning your instruments - but I believe we can still appreciate the significance of this historic event.
