Busted antique Martin guitar for "The Hateful Eight"


There's a lot of blaming going on with regard to Kurt Russell's accidentally smashing a 150 year-old Martin guitar during the filming of "The Hateful Eight." It should be pointed out that there were six fake guitars made for the smashing scene. It was not Mr. Russell's responsibility to examine the prop before smashing it. He simply used the tools he was given. The fault lies with the props manager. It is because of the negligence of the props manager that the Martin Guitar Company will never, ever again lend one of their vintage guitars to any film company.

Who's the responsible party? The Museum. I can hear it now. "You want to borrow it? Sure, then i'll be able to brag in the set piece legend that it was 'used on a major Hollywood Motion Picture'." Doofus.
