Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s guitar that he played during the band’s MTV Unplugged performance has been auctioned for USD 6.01 million, breaking the record for the most expensive guitar ever sold.
The record was previously held by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour’s black Stratocaster, which sold for USD 3.95 million last year, reported Deadline.
Cobain’s 1959 Martin D-18E was the headline item for the Music Icons event hosted by Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills.
The guitar featured in the Nirvana’s Unplugged performance in November 1993, five months before Cobain’s death at the age of 27.(PTI)
