Burning a Fake Plastic Guitar – Jimi Hendrix Would Be Proud

Surely you’ve seen this iconic rock image, taken in 1967 at the Monterey Pop Festival, of Jimi Hendrix burning his guitar on stage.

I found an amusing thread on ScoreHero where a fake plastic rocker duplicated this feat, no doubt after the zillionth attempt to complete the sadistically difficult Jordan in Guitar Hero II or the maniacally, insanely, serial-killer difficult Through the Fire and Flames in Guitar Hero III.

Poor Gibson Xplorer, we hardly knew ye.

That last picture is my wallpaper. I’ve always hated that guitar.
