Slight derail.

No one, but logic would indicate that a smashed up Squier is better than a smashed up Fender..
I respectfully disagree. Logic would indicate that once they're smashed up, one is no better than the other;)

Also... we were discussing Townsend's "lost revenue" due to all the instruments that never achieved "vintage" status cuz he smashed 'em up. As you indicated... there was no Squier at the time...

WRT to smashed instruments - you are both correct. @theFixer is right that both are worth $0 when reduced to kindling. But @Chucky Stiletti is also correct in that the change in value is greater for the 7ender vs. the Squwar.

WRT vintage instruments - I will still say that his net worth is in part due to status as rock bad ass who smashes instruments and other gear.
