Pete Townshend Owned, Played & Smashed 1967 Vox Cheetah V267 Guitar During Iconic 9/15/1967 Show.
Offered here are the remnants of Pete Townshend's smashed up Vox Cheetah semi-acoustic guitar, following The Who's famous performance of My Generation on The Smothers Brothers Show on 9/15/1967. Towards the end of the performance, Keith Moon set off an almighty explosion from his drum kit, which proved larger than he had anticipated, and Pete Townshend violently smashed up this guitar.
Here is a video of Pete Smashing the guitar:
