Most expensive ever sold at auction. Purchased by the owner of Rode Microphones. There was some debate over this guitar - Frances Bean Cobain owned it and gave it to her (now ex) husband. When they divorced, she asked for it back. Judge said No... https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5732933/amp/Frances-Bean-Cobain-gets-dad-Kurts-guitar-ex-finalizes-terms-divorce.html whoops.

James Nada Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 It's ironic that during that Unplugged show Kurt mocked the estate of Leadbelly for offering him a guitar for half-a-million dollars. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a pee take performance or is that meant to be a serious cover? Either way it's pretty shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 The only things that irritate me about this whole torrid issue (aside from the stupidity of Frances Bean Cobain giving the guitar away as a marriage present and Courtney Love, generally), is that the whole guitar thing pretty much stopped Cobain's daughter's ex-husband Isiah Silva's band The Eeries dead in their tracks. They were on a sharp ascendency, possibly because of the Cobain connection and were (or perhaps still are), a wonderful band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
