WRECKED WOODSTOCK GUITAR GOES ON SHOW
The remains of a guitar PETE TOWNSHEND famously smashed to pieces at WOODSTOCK is to go on show in London.
The splintered Gibson SG Special was wrecked onstage by the rocker during The Who's set at the notorious 1969 festival in New York.
It will be shown at a Hard Rock Cafe in London next month (Jul09) along with other artifacts from Woodstock, including Jimi Hendrix's vest, a jacket worn by Joe Cocker, a festival poster, and souvenir T-shirt.

How right you are-unclealbert72.
Also I think it would be very fitting if this most
legendary guitar would one day be on display at the
Museum at Bethel woods.

I'm sorry but "smashed to bits" is a completely false statement.
Anyone who's seen the Woodstock movie shows Pete Townshend simply banging it on
the stage and tosses it into the photo pit.
