The Guitar TodayĪfter Kurt’s passing, it seems that the guitar ended up with his daughter, Francis Bean – however, it was kept at the secret vault in Seattle, together with the rest of Kurt’s belongings.Īccording to TMZ, in 2018 the guitar ended up with Isaiah Silva, Francis’ ex-husband, as a part of the divorce settlement agreement. Regarding mods on Kurt’s guitar, apparently stock DeArmond pickups didn’t sound very good with bronze-wound strings that Kurt was using, so the guitar was fitted with a Bartolini 3AV sound hole pickup – which Kurt already tried out on his Epiphone Texan. Kurt’s guitar, serial number 155864, was just number 7 out of 302, according to Julien’s.
It is actually a pretty rare guitar produced only for a year in the late 50s, and it was one of the earliest Martins to feature electric pickups. Kurt bought this Martin in late 1993 at Voltage Guitars in Los Angeles – just a few months prior to the Unplugged gig. This guitar is certainly Kurt’s best-known acoustic since it was used during Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged concert.
