The guitar Kurt Cobain used during Nirvana’s legendary “MTV Unplugged” performance is among the items that will be up for sale during a “Music Icons” auction from Julien’s Auctions. That event will take place in Beverly Hills, CA on June 19-20. A description of the guitar, which is estimated to sell for $1 million, can be found below:

“At the center of this event is the 1959 Martin D-18E played by Kurt Cobain throughout Nirvana’s most legendary performance in their live taping for the popular MTV Unplugged series on November 18, 1993. Approximately five months before his death, Cobain chose this guitar to paint what Rolling Stone called ‘his last self-portrait.’”
