The guitar Kurt Cobain played during Nirvana’s famed MTV Unplugged in New York concert is headed to auction with a starting estimate of $1 million.

The guitar is a 1959 Martin D-18E, and the auction lot also comes with the original hard-shell case that Cobain had adorned with a flyer for the band Poison Idea’s 1990 album, Feel the Darkness.

 (The case is also stamped with three baggage-claim ticket stubs and an Alaska Airlines sticker.) Inside the case is a half-used pack of Martin guitar strings, three picks, and a “suede ‘stash’ bag” that’s decorated with a small silver spoon, fork, and knife.

I knew there would be good deals in this buyer's market caused by Covid-19.

The one that Courtney love used to stage his fake suicide? The same one that the police gave Love back which she proceeded to melt down and destroy?

If I was a super rich guy, I would definitely bid on this.

Nirvana Unplugged was the first CD I ever owned. Would be a cool bit of memorabilia.
