This particular 1969 Fender Mustang is not just any vintage instrument; it is believed to have been one of Cobain's favorites during the height of Nirvana's fame. The guitar’s association with Cobain, the voice of a generation, elevates its status to an iconic symbol of 1990s grunge culture. Experts estimate that the instrument could fetch between $2.5 million and $5 million at auction.

He described it as "a piece of American history", asserting that Cobain created some of his most influential music with this very instrument. Roder further praised the guitar’s legacy, stating, "He made the greatest music on this guitar and defined a generation."
