The guitar which Kurt Cobain played at Nirvana's last ever show is coming up for auction this weekend, with an estimated price tag of $2 million.
The guitar, a 1993 Fender MG-69 Mustang, known as “Skystang I, is owned by Cobain's brother Chad, and was used throughout Nirvana's In Utero tour, including at the band's final show at Munich's Terminal Einz venue on March 1, 1994. Previously on display at Seattle’s MoPOP (formerly known as The Experience Music Project), the guitar is now being offered for sale as part of Julien's Auctions forthcoming Played, Worn, & Torn: Rock ‘N’ Roll Iconic Guitars And Memorabilia collection.
The auction will also include guitars owned by Metallica's Kirk Hammett, The Who's Pete Townshend, Eric Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, and Johnny Cash, plus items such as Slash's 1966 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray sports car, a Wurlitzer juke box owned by John Lennon, John Lydon's handwritten lyrics to Holidays in the Sun and Submission, and a packet of American Spirit menthol cigarettes left by Kurt Cobain in a LA rehab facility.
The auction will run from tomorrow, November 16, through to Saturday, November 18.
