Ah yeah, a scene from the 1966 movie Blow Up.

One of the best films EVER. As passionated amateur photographer from age 9 on I just HAD to love Michelangelo Antonioni's masterpiece.

 

Misleading topic title though. :o I think not even "repair attempt" would match it.

Here's what I just found at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowup

 

Quote:

 

'Steve Howe of The in Crowd recalled, "We went on the set and started preparing for that guitar-smashing scene in the club. They even went as far as making up a bunch of Gibson 175 replicas ... and then we got dropped for The Yardbirds, who were a bigger name. That's why you see Jeff Beck smashing my guitar rather than his!"'

Not a 175.

 

Somewhere there is a Jeff Beck i'view where he says it was a Hofner, and they had 4 or more for him to trash.

 

Page on his Tele and you can see Jeff pick up the LP after he throws the neck into the audience.

 

Great film BTW. The park is Maryon Park in Woolwich SE London.

...

Perhaps these were what Steve Howe meant saying "a bunch of Gibson 175 replicas" I guess.
