The guitar could potentially sell for US $10 million dollars and is expected to beat the record for the most expensive guitar ever sold. The guitar and other Kurt Cobain and Nirvana items will go for auction by Julien’s Auctions in a celebrity studded auction at the Hard Rock Café in New York from May 20-22.

Los Angeles-based Julien's Auctions frequently brings items of Hollywood memorabilia to Newbridge Silverware to display as part of a European tour before they are auctioned.
