It was an antique on loan and the owners were devastated.

Come on smashing guitars is heavy metal, the more old and irreplaceable, the more badass the act if smashing it, just makes the film even cooler

It was a Martin, not a Stradivarius. Get over yourself.

Lighten up, Francis!

I mean, I'm a guitarist so I appreciate the history we're talking about here, but QT was going for a genuine reaction from JJL and he got one! That Martin gave its life in a brave sacrifice for the greater good of the picture, and should be so honored...

JJL is a professional. No need for a stunt like intentionally destroying a one of a kind instrument to get a performance from her.

I thought they thought it was just a fake prop

That's what Kurt Russell said, and he felt terrible when he found out.
The guitar company will never lend another classic guitar out again so they say.
