At the Museum of Pop Art in Seattle they have the remaining piece of the Stratocaster Jimi burned and smashed at Monterey.

Part of an exhibit about Jimi touring abroad. They had a bunch of his clothes and some handwritten notes but not many guitars. Really cool to see though.

There is another guitar burned during another performance in Miami by Jimi Hendrix. This one burned guitar eventually was owned and repaired by Frank Zappa. Or so the legend goes :)
