Anyone know what happened to them after he threw them into the audience?

The parts did not come off. Frank Zappa had the guitar, but he passed it on to Dwezil Zappa. He still has the neck, but I think the body has a replacement neck on it.

DZ had it rebuilt

I just saw Jimi chuck parts to the audience on youtube. It looks like he threw the neck, a cable, and part of the body out into the audience and they were seperated parts.

I saw a book last night that showed DZ's Hendrix-burned strat. Said it was handed down from FZ, and that it wasn't the monterey strat, but another strat that was lit on fire at some other show.

Exactly. The Monterey strat went to the four winds.

I wonder if the recipients new who he was, or if they thought he was just some far out cat. If they kept the parts as a memento, I am sure they are glad that they did.

Frank Zappa most definetely did not resurrect the Monterey Strat.His Strat was most likely from a New York or New Jersey appearance but most assuredly not Monterey.Although the guitar was reduced to many pieces the largest part of the body remained in the closet of the young man who had caught it for years.When Fender was making the ultra expensive "Monterey Strat" this large segment was used as a reference piece for the guitar.Jimi used 2 Strats in Monterey,the first was a black with rosewood fretboard and the"sacrificed"one was Fiesta Red with a rosewood board that he had hand painted himself before the concert.The first Strat wasn't used much after Monterey for some reason either as there aren't many pix of Jimi with a Black/Rosewood Strat.

My other guitar is a Strat.

Some say the Zappa Hendrix Strat came from the Miami Pop Fest.
But it's not certain that Jimi burned one there ... the evidence suggests that he did not.

Deweezils hendrix strat definetely came from miami pop as he personally explains in a youtube video about his gear.

it comes from miami pop, as dweezil personally explains in a video about his gear.

Did Hendrix even burn a guitar at Miami? I can't find any pictures of it from the festival. Plenty of him playing a black LP custom at that fest, but no burnings.

Just think, you could live quite happily for a year on what someone would pay for that bit of wire and jack socket.

I can tell you weren't around then....hell yeah, in '67 we knew who Hendrix was even here in Tennessee.

@Rebelsoul:
Ha ha! You are right. I wasn't born until '68!
I was wondering because they say it was his big US debut at Monterey, and I know his career started taking off in England. Or so I have heard. Also, people didn't seem to be swarming to get to the parts. Looked like a very relaxed crowd.These days people would get trampled.
