The 1959 Martin D-18E that Cobain played in the band's rare acoustic performance and subsequent live album was sold to Australian Peter Freedman, owner of Røde Microphones, at the Music Icons event run by Julien's Auctions in Beverly Hills, California.

-

The bids opened at $1 million for the sale that ended up breaking several world records.

A day earlier at the same auction event, a custom guitar played by Prince at the height of his stardom in the 1980s and 1990s sold for $563,500, a small sum compared with the Cobain guitar but well over the $100,000 to $200,000 it was expected to fetch.

Got damn

Hope he spends the money well

Legendary for real

So many crazy things in that OP alone

Wait $6m compared to $500k for Prince's

bet first thing he gonna do on it is anyway here’s wonderwall

Buyer: Kid Cudi

more kurt less tony

He's gonna put it to good use

SB2H2 it's

can't help but feel like kurt would hate this or think its dumb

goat album

also crazy how he was passing around a donation basket at the show to buy someone else's guitar now we here lol

Cobain more iconic than Prince.. Michael Jackson more iconic than both tho

Damn

Hope the money goes to his daughter or a good course

"Wayne buys it before Cudi and makes Rebirth 2"

rt. the two things that seemed to be the reason why kurt continued or found some purpose in his fame was to provide for his daughter and being a popular figure that stood against sexism, racism and homophobia. so it going to his daughter or a charity to a cause he cared about feels like that would be the only way it could be justified imo.

this avy gotta go my guy
