On September 22, 1990, Nirvana played at Seattle’s Motorsports International Garage. Kurt Cobain played his Aria Pro II Cardinal Series guitar that he ultimately smashed to bits. (Video evidence below.) A fellow working security grabbed the busted body and after the show, Cobain requested return of the pickups. The security guard kept the rest and has now put it on the auction block. Estimated price is $40,000 – $60,000.
