Hey there, music fanatics! Get your wallets ready as we're talking about a true rock 'n' roll treasure: Kurt Cobain's smashed Fender Stratocaster from the iconic Nirvana's European tour in 1992. This baby had been restored on the spot during the tour and is now up for grabs!
With a staggering starting bid of $30,000[1], the one-of-a-kind axe is now making waves among collectors[1]. The lucky buyer will soon become the proud owner of this legendary piece of rock history, currently owned by someone from Cobain's crew who worked with the band between 1991-1993[1].
While we can't confirm the current owner yet, as the bidding has just opened, it's worth mentioning that another of Cobain's smashed Fender Stratocasters sold for a whopping over $500,000 in 2023 at auction[1]! The record-breaking sale price for this specific white Stratocaster, if it's already sold, remains shrouded in mystery for now.
Authenticated by Nirvana's guitar tech, Big John Duncan[1], this guitar comes with a unique backstory. Cobain, known for his impromptu performances, smashed it during the tour. But don't you worry, the guitar was promptly restored to its former glory!
As of the latest updates (April 2025), the auction remains active, with no confirmed buyer announced yet[1][2]. If you're curious about what else is happening in the Cobain guitar world, check out an Instagram post from April 16, 2025, mentioning a separate white Fender Stratocaster linked to Cobain's estate as having been largely unused since his death[3].
