Story of Kurt Cobain's "In Utero" Era Guitars 

I feel bad for these guitars because their owner died

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.

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!

Hell yeah waiting for this video for a long time

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).

Great series, thanks 😊

EXCELLENT 3 video series Very informative and interesting

Glad to see a new video, F Yeah😃😃

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!

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. 😅

expected to wait months for this one too lol. nice

great video! now i need one of these talking about krist's basses, lol

Recently went to Cleveland to see if Skystang III was there and yeah it’s gone. I was bummed. I wanna see one so bad. Rip Kurt

Do jerry Cantrell

just give the man his Univox HI-FLiER custom of SG Honor.. coolest thing he ever used aside the dual humbucker Jaguar of & IBANEZ Les paul

a video about Krist's basses?

That univox was used in the in utero recording sessions as seen in the seasons in the sun music video

Could that Orange Fender have also been played on some TV show where it stopped working?

You know in the in bloom video what mustang is that I didn’t think he has a non comp stang during that time

Veleno?

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.

Why does skysone one have a white pick guard? I thought it had a red pick.

Wheres the veleno

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.

What about the Ferrington and Veleno?

How many total guitars has kurt ever broken?

Question: did this video get copyrighted?????

Kurt had a brother???

(this is my gf account) im currently starting a grunge band and i cant wait to see one of this videos dedicated to my guitars...

Kurt definitely didn’t get the tele two weeks before his death lol dates don’t match up there’s pictures of him with the tele backstage with the buzzcocks over a month before he passed away.

There is a whole lot of misinformation here

And I feel bad about guitars, because they have become just a means of making a lot of money....😒
