Kurt bought this guitar from Chris Cobb of Real Guitars in San Francisco, CA. It is one of only two known 1960's Mark IV Gospels. The other is owned by Mosrite founder's daughter Michelle Moseley. This is perhaps the most auctioned off Cobain guitar to date. The initial auction estimate was $75,000. It was initially auctioned on April 27, 2004 at the Dallas Guitar Show by Odyssey/Heritage Auctions. At the 2004 auction the closing price was $117,500. Serious offers ONLY! Include OFFER with name and number. (No I won't take $2,000.00) This guitar was made famous by Kurt Cobain. You won't see one of these for sale no matter how hard you try to look. You can look high and low all you want to. This one is in amazing shape. This is a great collectors item. Very low numbered.
