There's was two guitars that Kurt owned but never played live. A Fender Electric XII and a blue Mosrite Gospel. Out of fear of them getting stolen, he hid them in a bathtub in his mansion if I remember right. Sometime later he went to retrieve the guitars but both of them suffered severe water and sewage damage. I think the blue Mosrite was later repaired and was given to Pat Smear to play with during their '93 SNL performance. EDIT: It was a Mosrite Mark V, not a Gospel. There was also notebooks and tapes inside the bathtub. Also, some may not have known this but Kurt wrote Serve the Servants with that Electric XII.

@@jimfromdiscord.8904 No clue how it happened, but on the Kurt's Equipment website it said it was water-stained halfway up, split, and warped. Earnie Bailey, Kurt's guitar tech, offered to build a new body for it but Kurt said no.

There's also his last new guitar. A telecaster that was gifted to him by Earnie Bailey. He never played it live and is only known to have been recorded on his last sessions with pat smear in his basement. He said it was his new favorite guitar.

It seems like I've been proven wrong - it DIDN'T take four years for this part to come out. Glad to be proven wrong though, so comes the end of this three-part series into Kurt's guitars, woo!

Two things: 1) the "Intro" of Kurt talking about In Utero was from August 11, 1993 at Edgewater Hotel, Seattle, WA (not early 1994). Second 2:31 the "Ibanez Les Paul Copy" the model it is a 1978 Ibanez PF-300 Cherry Sunburst. (Obviously the Black Pickguard and Black Pickup rings were removed) and Kurt had White Humbucker Rings with a DiMarzio X2N Humbucker in the Bridge and a Fender Stratocaster Single-Coil pickup in the Neck (most likely taken from one of Kurt's many Made in Japan Fender Strats) as Kurt usually always swapped the Bridge pickup with a Seymour Duncan Hotrail (except for Kurts first 3 Fender Japanese Strats the White "K" Strat, the "Endless, Nameless/Tune-O-Matic" Strat, and the "Vandalism" Strat).

A precision from NirvanaGuitars’s Jag-Stang video. It was a Seymour Duncan Custom Shop 59 pickup that was used in his Jag-Stang, not a DiMarzio H8 not a Seymour Duncan JB. However great video man, I love you videos and the website, thx for everything!

@CameronDufour2010 4 ай бұрын

Really awesome video! My favorite era of nirvana has always been the "in utero" era. I'd also like to recommend a new video idea. I think a really cool idea would be to make deep dive into Kurt's effects pedals. I've never seen anyone do a deep dive into Kurt's effects, I've only ever seen people talk about his most popular effects like the "BOSS DS-1" or the "Electro Harmonics Small Clone" but Kurt's effects go way deeper then that. like at one point he owned a delay pedal for a short while, and he also owned a wah-wah. Really cool video idea in my opinion. 😅

@groundguitar 4 ай бұрын

Thats a good idea, but I'm not really into effects myself, so Im not sure if the video would be that good. We'll see. Have you checked the videos that Nirvana Guitars did here on youtube? Hes doing a series on Kurts effects I believe.

I understand what the person is kind of saying that she feels bad! For the guitar 🎸 But let's remember guitars don't have emotions like people. But the death of Kurt cobain will always be missed and loved by fans,friends,family and it's a tragedy for sure! Let's focus on the music,and the good things he did and the happiness he left us.

Have you checked out Aaron Rash’s YT Channel? He’s making the In Utero IRS and has completely figured out exactly what Kurt used from a Fender Quad Reverb w a broken tube creating asymmetric distortion and one of Steve Albinis Aluminum guitars to a Veleno mustang type guitar he borrowed from him as well. He even knows which speakers and the modded superlead he used for clean tones. The dude has done meticulous research and has an amazing channel. If you’re into Kurt’s sound you have to watch it. Great work on this collection though. It’s amazing. So mush of Kurt’s sound really comes from his amps as well. Give it a watch. Thanks.
