MTV’s Unplugged in New York played by the band Nirvana is one of the band’s most well-known performances, which is why the guitar Kurt Cobain played is garnering so much interest.
The guitar, 1959 Martin D-18E, will be part of the “Music Icons” sale at Julien’s Auctions, taking place June 19th and 20th in Beverly Hills and on the Julien’s Auctions Website. Before the sale, the guitar will also be displayed at the Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly Circus, London, May 15th through 31st, and at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, June 15th through 19th.
“This important guitar has earned its rightful place in rock & roll history as the instrument played by one of rock’s most influential musicians and icons in one of the greatest and most memorable live performances of all time,” Darren Julien, president and CEO of the auction house, said in a statement.
