ROFL!
when was this one taken? who's guitar is it I wonder?
Well it's a right-handed guitar that is strung left-handed so probably his. that's what you were getting at isn't it?
the John Lennon photo is a famous one. The other person in the Photo (who he is signing an autograph for) later that day, killed him.

His. He played standard right handed guitars strung for a leftie.
Clapton bought a white left handed strat he found as a present for Hendrix, but Hendrix died that night so never got it.
Looks like Gandhi
Looks like a cannabis plant behind him, though I don't believe it is.
What an odd question. I'd understand you wondering who owned the guitar if Jimi was primarily a drummer, but...
It was his favourite and most famous guitar - Black Beauty. Monika Dannemann, his then girlfriend, took it after his death and kept it hidden away (apart from a few times) for around 26 years until her death. It was then acquired by her husband, and I'm guessing it's still in his possession now, locked away forever...
I think this is the only available picture of it after his death:
Pretty much the holy grail of guitars.
Ah.
Which explains why he is with Gary Lineker
You might want to have a look at the whole family then. Cursed doesn't really come close.

I must admit that I didn't know who a few of these people are and had to google them. Jennie Rivera was killed in a plane crash. I'm assuming the photo was developed from film recovered from the crash which makes the picture quite poignant.

I had to google a few too and wondered about this one as the photo on Wikipedia and other recent photos don't look like the woman in that photo to me.
