Kurt's Guitar... Last week at an auction, the iconic guitar that Kurt Cobain used on the MTV episode of UNPLUGGED fetched the amazing price of six million dollars. That's double to what the auctioneers had predicted. The guitar itself, a rare Martin D-18E (number 7 in a production of only 302) had been butchered by the addition of 2 pickups and electronics (right handed) before Cobain had it strung left-handed. On November 18, 1993, Cobain played this guitar for 14 songs taped on the show Unplugged in New York at the Sony Music Studios. He died on April 5th, 1994. . ![]() |
