"A charred guitar set alight on stage by rock legend
Jimi Hendrix could become the most expensive guitar
ever sold when it goes under the hammer in London next
month, auctioneers said on Tuesday. 

The 1963 Fender Stratocaster is being offered for sale
by the son of rock guitarist Frank Zappa. 

One of Hendrix's roadies had given it to Zappa, who
used it on his own 1976 album "Zoot Allures" after
making it again playable. His son Dweezil became owner
of the instrument upon his father's death. [...] Owen
said Dweezil was selling the guitar to help fund the
refurbishment of his father's recording studio. [...]"
