Hendrix’s Burned Up Strat Goes For $495,000US

I meant to post this on Friday but I have been so very busy. Jimi Hendrix's guitar that he set alight at Astoria in Finsbury Park, north London, in March 1967 recently went under the hammer. The lucky winner was guitar collector Daniel Boucher (not pictured with the guitar, that's the original owner). It went for a cool US$495,000.

I've got to say, for a guitar that has been on fire, it seems to be in fairly good condition. I would have expected the pickups and pick guard to be in worse shape than they are.

The new owner had the following to say:

“I thought I’d have to pay a little bit more for it, actually. I am going to play it, I hope some of it rubs off on me.”

Cool, what ever you saved on the "cheap" price you got, you can give it to me. Obviously you won't miss it.
