Hmmm... not buying your comparison.  Pete may have smashed prop amps and used a beat up guitar, but that's purely because the Who, at that time, couldn't afford to keep buying all new equipment every time they smashed things up.  And to be sure, Keith didn't destroy "prop" drums.

KISS can most certainly afford to have a real guitar to smash, even if it is a $150 Fender Squire.  A guitar rigged to collapse upon minimal impact is weak as hell and can't be compared in any way to The Who or Pete Townshend.
