Reading time: 1 minute
The blue guitar played by Kurt Cobain in Nirvana’s ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ video is to be sold at auction next month.
Martin Nolan, executive director of Julien’s Auctions, said the guitar is arguably one of the most famous instruments in rock with “Smells Like Teen Spirit” racking up more than 1.4 billion views on YouTube.
The blue Mustang Fender guitar was one of Cobain’s favourite guitars and is the star lot in the auction house’s Music Icons auction, taking place in New York and online from May 20-22, CNN reports.
The auction house has conservatively estimated a price range for the guitar of $600,000 to $800,000.
