In May, a black Fender Stratocaster destroyed by the artist fetched $595,000 at an auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York.
After leaving his mark on a generation of Nirvana fans with hits like ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ and ‘Come as You Are’, Cobain committed suicide in April 1994 at the age of 27, after a career marked by heroin addiction and a complex relationship with singer Courtney Love.
On Thursday, Julien’s Auctions also sold another guitar, used by Eric Clapton, for nearly $1.3 million.
That Gibson SG, nicknamed ‘The Fool’ and with personalized and psychedelic decoration, is closely linked to the singer’s time in the group Cream, in which he produced one of the most characteristic sounds in rock.
