One of the most infamous guitars of all time is the Hendrix/Zappa guitar. It is said that Jimi Hendrix burned this guitar at the 1968 Miami Pop Festival. However, some people argue as the photos of the said concert showed Hendrix playing a white Stratocaster. But as the story goes, the remains of the guitar was then given to Frank Zappa and after Frank died, his son Dweezil got it.
It was repaired to be playable, and Frank made several changes to the guitar’s electronics and hardware over the years. He played it on his 1976 album “Zoot Allures“.
Frank also posed with it for the cover of Guitar Player magazine's January 1977 issue.
In the video below, Dweezil Zappa tells the entire story behind the guitar.
