How many roads must a man walk down before he can figure out who really owns this instrument?

The 1964 Fender Stratocaster represents a historical pivot, a decisive moment in music: it marks the day Dylan went electric. By 1965, the folk musician had largely established himself as the folksy, acoustic voice of a generation. So when he took the stage at that year’s Newport Folk Festival toting a guitar that — gasp! — required plugging in, the instrument became an instant point of contention and an instant historical icon. So where is the guitar-that-changed history today?
 It depends who you ask.
