Monterey Pop Festival, 1967 : Jimi Hendrix torches his guitar!
(http://spawn.com/toys/music/other/hendrix2/images/other_hendrix2_photo_01_md.jpg)
After a strong performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, Hendrix ended his performance by spraying lighter fluid all over his Fender Stratocaster and setting it ablaze. He put on quite a show, raising the burning instrument above his head, then dropping to his knees to... well... worship the guitar gods or something. I read somewhere that Hendrix claimed to have had something of a love/hate relationship with his guitars... Whatever the reasoning behind it all (I'm guessing the acid may have something to do with it), hate never looked so cool.
