Courtney Love sold off some of Kurt's belongings to the Hard Rock.
Supposedly this was Kurt Cobain's Jazzmaster, but according to Ernie Bailey Kurt never owned a Jazzmaster.
From kurtsquiptment.com
"The Hard Rock Cafe's collection of guitars mistakenly claims Kurt's "trademark" Fender Jazzmaster which is autographed. Kurt has told Earnie Bailey on several occasions that he never used a Jazzmaster. Earnie chased down a lefty Jazzmaster for Kurt once but he and Krist decided it was too expensive, as it was going to be purchased as a surprise."

Obviously that isn't Kurt's, it's a right handed guitar... he was lefty
ReplyDeletewell you can see that the strings are flipped to lefty
ReplyDeletei´ve been there (Hard Rock of London, yes, the strings are for a lefty but i think Kurt never played it,the guy of the hard Rock told me, that the Jazzmaster was used by Kurt at the Cow Palace april 8, but the Date of the concert is wrong because it was the 9 of april and he payed with the Jaguar http://www.nirvanaguide.com/images/1993/040993.54.jpg, and if you see the photos of the concert you will see it and compare..
ReplyDeletewho cares...
ReplyDeleteWHat the world wants to know is "does this have to do with Kim Kardashian ?" .
ReplyDeleteFalse advertising. Kurt never played a Jazzmaster at the cow palace, and NEVER played a jazz master live ever! Hard rock are wrong to say its Kurts guitar, it aint. Courtney was laughing all the way to the bank with this one!
ReplyDeleteThere are lots of pics of him playing live with a jazzmaster
Deleteare those his white glasses next to it? the ones he possibly had next to him when he died? I don't believe this is his jazzmaster
ReplyDeleteI would like to say that this blog really convinced me to do it! Thanks, very good post. clout goggle
ReplyDeleteProbably kurt used this YES, beacouse, in the cd of the show in the cow palace, the images of the last song isnt very clear to see, but, u can see a p90 when he trow up the guitar.
ReplyDeleteI have a theory, everyone knows that Courtney have a lot of jazzmasters, so, she gave one to kurt and he played in the BACKSAGE of the cow palace
ReplyDeleteThat explain why the strings are left handed, courtney's guitars are right handed
DeleteYes! And court had a JM that is very very very similar to this "kurt's jazzmaster "
DeleteProbably Kurt used this as one of Courtney's guitars, you can clearly hear one of Courtney's JM on "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge In Seattle" and the distorted tone in "Penyroyal Tea"
