Fernandes Stratocaster
Smashed by Dave Grohl at the 1992 Reading Festival. Currently owned by The Hard Rock Cafe. Over the years this guitar has made it's rounds across different Hard Rock Cafes across the globe. It was also lent to be displayed at the Reading Museum during the 2004 Reading Festival. At one point the frame and placement within the frame were changed. The photo above is it's former frame. I personally like this old frame arrangement better because you can see ghostly remains of the guitar's structure. See links below to see it in it's current frame.
The smashed Fernandes Stratocaster has been on display at the Hard Rock in Orlando, FL, London, UK, and as of 2007 Boston, MA.

Mike:Or..it was a tingle in Kurts ribs that made him giggle and instead of "grandma" he really says "gran mal" but Danny said dude the last great grandma song was like 30 years ago so Kurt changed it to secretly make fun of Mark Arm's coolness. Prove me wrong.

This guitar was actually a fender, the neck was snapped and replaced with a kramer one, they had about 5 of them on several guitars including the "vandalism: as beautiful as a rock in a cops face" strat. All the others got changed back to fender necks after a while. Earnie Bailey said this on http://www.kurtsequipment.com/
