Cobain 'Unplugged' guitar sells for record $6 million at auctionKurt Cobain's guitar was the most expensive ever sold at auctionLOS ANGELES: The guitar that grunge rock icon Kurt Cobain played during his legendary 1993 MTV Unplugged performance sold Saturday for a record $6 million, the auction house said. At $6.01 million after fees and commission, the instrument was the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction, among other records. The guitar was sold with its case, which Cobain had decorated with a flyer from punk rock band Poison Idea's 1990 album "Feel the Darkness." Until now, the most expensive guitar in history was a Fender Stratocaster, dubbed "Black Strat," used by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. In October 2019 Cobain's cigarette-singed cardigan worn during the "Unplugged" performance sold for $334,000.
