That’s the guitar I polish and baby — I refuse to let anyone touch it when I jump into the crowd,” said Cobain. “Lately, I’ve been using a Strat live, because I don’t want to ruin my Mustang yet. I like to use Japanese Strats because they’re a bit cheaper, and the frets are smaller than the American versions.” Besides these, Cobain was known to use a 1993 Fender Telecaster with a sunburst finish and a Gibson pickup in the neck, an Epiphone ET-270, a Univox Hi-Flier, a Martin D-18E, a Mark IV-style Mosrite Gospel guitar, and various Japanese Stratocasters that were used for smashing at the end of each show.

Read More »Apparently Cobain’s preferred amp was a 1960s Fender Twin Reverb, which he used to record In Utero, as well as MTV Unplugged. He also used a similar amp during the recording of Bleach, though it is unknown if it was the exact same one. He also favoured a Mesa/Boogie Studio .22 Preamp that he paired with a Crown Power Base 2 800W Power Amplifier. This was bought just prior to recording Nevermind and used in both those sessions and subsequent tour. Eventually he replaced the Crown with a Crest 4801 power amp, which he found worked better with the Mesa/Boogie. Later on Cobain used between two to eight Marshall cabinets, either Marshall 1960A Slant Cabinets or Marshall 1960AC Vintage Cabinets, depending on the size of the venue. They were loaded with either Celestion 12″ G12M Greenback Speakers or Celestion 12″ Vintage 30 Speakers. He had a disdain for Marshall as a brand and covered the logos with gaffer tape.
