That guitar he had destroyed for his movie The Hateful Eight was made in 1870. It was on loan from the Martin Guitar Museum.
Tarantino left the clip in the movie because he liked the horrified reaction of Jennifer Jason Leigh, who realized at the time that it was not a replica but a priceless antique getting smashed. Everyone on the set was distraught except Tarantino, who reportedly smiled:
The head of the museum was furious when he found out the guitar had been wrecked not in a random accident, but because Tarantino had failed to tell Kurt Russell about it.

DOUCHEBAG!!!
I really don’t care about musical instruments but destroying any kind artifact on purpose offends me to no end.
Should destroy his master tapes too, just to see the reaction from him. For all his garbage movies.
If they did decide to sue, I think they’d have a good chance of prevailing.
Sleaze.
Rosie did the same on her show to an artist I know. He lent something from his private collection and she destroyed on the show. It was only $400 to the fat pig but to this guy it wasn’t about the money.
Evil, pointless, crap movies from an evil, crap soul.

I felt the same way when I saw a video from Toad the Wet Sprocket, in which a guitar was destroyed.
I don’t know if said guitar was an antique or some cheap thing, but it was a real guitar, designed by some artisan to make real music, and this act of destruction offended me deeply.
The deliberate destruction of a work of art, over which some artisan/craftsman, a man (or woman) made in God’s image labored in good faith, is in some indirect was a slap to the face of God in whose image we are made.
Now now....Inglorious Basterds and the Kill Bill movies were the shizznit.
Those movies were pretty lame.
I liked Pulp Fiction, but everything Tarantino’s made after that has been garbage afaik.
Movie studios usually take great care to ensure props they use do not get damaged. The museum assumed that’s what would happen and that it would be a great opportunity for free publicity. Any other director, who is not a hack, would have ensured proper care of this instrument.
The Taliban and ISIS have a similar propensity. Think there is a connection?
I wouldn’t doubt it.
I didn’t like him before, and now I really don’t like him.
then there should have been a guy from Martin standing there to pick it up at the proper time ensuring nothing happened to it and the only advertizement they'd get is a blurb in the credits that nobody watches anyway, i hope it was worth it
no matter what, somebody should get fired and that suckhole tarantino should be sued
Tarantino just lost the rock and roll crowd.
I’ve never seen one of Tarantino’s movies, but my friend was gifted a sword from “Kill Bill” by David Carradine. They were friends, and her name matched the inscription on the sword.
“I really don’t care about musical instruments but destroying any kind artifact on purpose offends me to no end.”
My friend and I used to get very upset during the old Batman TV show when the fights would destroy all the “art”, even though we were perfectly aware that it was totally fake.
I use props sometimes in my stock footage attempts. There is no destruction. The most I do is remove nameplates and other ID and put them back later.
