I was looking at this and wanted to point out that the guitar burning in picture is from the Monterey Pop Festival in mid 67. The one in the auction was the first one he burned at the London Astoria Club. He burned himself a little at that one and had to go to the hospital. He burned atleast a third one he gave to Zappa. There is some great sh#t in that auction.
