Kurt Cobain‘s guitar played in NIRVANA‘s iconic “Smells Like Teen Spirit” music video will be publicly sold for the first time at auction and was announced this morning as an additional “Music Icons” headliner. The guitar and other Cobain items will also be on display at today’s press preview at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills.
Julien’s Auctions is proud to present the electric guitar that changed music and the world — one of the most important and iconic guitars owned and played by Kurt Cobain that will ever be sold at auction. The conservative starting estimate of Cobain‘s 1969 Fender Mustang left-handed guitar in Competition Lake Placid blue finish with matching headstock is $600,000 to $800,000.
In honor of the upcoming Mental Health Awareness Month in May, a portion of the proceeds from the auction of this legendary guitar and select Cobain items will benefit “Kicking The Stigma”, the Indianapolis Colts and the Jim Irsay family’s national initiative to raise awareness about mental health disorders and to remove the stigma too often associated with these illnesses.
