A guitar previously belonging to Nirvana‘s Kurt Cobain has gone on sale in an online auction.

According to a press release, the guitar was given by Cobain to audience member Guillaume Enault, who was at the band’s gig in Rennes, France during February 1994.

The guitar, a black and white Fender Stratocaster, was supposedly used by Cobain “specifically for the end of set jamming and destruction.”
