PRICELESS GUITAR DESTROYED IN MOVIE

Smashed Hateful Eight Martin acoustic goes on display for first time |  Guitar World

Double Feature Suggestion: The Hateful Eight & Green Room – dusty DVD
  2015

The guitar destroyed by Kurt Russell’s character was not a prop
but an antique 1870s
Martin guitar lent by the Martin Guitar
Museum. According to sound mixer
Mark Ulano, the guitar was
supposed to have been switched with a copy to be destroyed,
but this was not communicated to Russell; everyone on the set
was "pretty freaked out" at the guitar’s destruction, and actress
Jennifer Jason Leigh’s reaction was genuine, though "Tarantino
was in a corner of the
room with a funny curl on his lips, because
he got something
out of it with the performance."

Museum director Dick Boak said that the museum was not told
that the script included a scene that called for a guitar being s
mashed, and determined that it was irreparable.

The insurance remunerated the purchase value of the guitar
and as a result of the incident, the museum no longer lends
props to film productions.

SOME EXPENSIVE MUSIC MEMORABILIA

Pink Floyd Ilustrado: David Gilmour · Prog Magazine 2019-03
David Jon Gilmour (78)

Music memorabilia has always been popular with collectors,
and there have been several items with truly extraordinary
price tags.

According to Guitar World, a 1954 Fender Stratocaster owned
by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sold for $1.8 million at a 2019
Christie’s auction, while one owned by Jerry Garcia of the
Grateful Dead sold for $1.9 million in 2017.

Famous guitars associated with a single iconic musical
performance have fetched huge prices at auction houses.

The biggest by far is the Martin D-18E acoustic played by
Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain at the band’s “MTV Unplugged”
performance, which sold in 2020 for more than $6 million,
making it the most expensive guitar ever sold.

Rare Photographs of a Young Jimi Hendrix in the Army, ca. 1961-1962 ~ Vintage Everyday

Forestdweller: Jimi Hendrix
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix.

On November 27, future rock superstar Jimi Hendrix was born
in Seattle, Washington. In his short career, he would establish
himself as one of the most innovative guitarists in rock ‘n’ roll.

Hendrix grew up playing guitar, inspired by blues greats like
Muddy Waters as well as early rockers. He joined the army in
1959 and became a paratrooper, but was honorably discharged
in 1961 after an injury that exempted him from duty in Vietnam.

In the early 1960s, Hendrix worked as a pickup guitarist, backing musicians including Little Richard, B.B. King, Ike and Tina Turner,
and Sam Cooke.

Hendrix died in London in September 1970, following a drug
overdose. He was 27.
