A smashed guitar from the late Kurt Cobain has been sold to an unidentified private collector for $100,000.

Helen Hall, a broker in England, says it's the second-highest known price for an item of Cobain memorabilia. The seller was punk rocker Sluggo of The Grannies and Hullabaloo.

The sale was confirmed Tuesday by Jacob McMurray, senior curator at the Experience Music Project in Seattle, where the taped-up Fender Mustang guitar in sunburst finish was displayed for a time.

Man, that's just SICK! Although if I could swing it, I'd probably buy something like that myself just to have it...

By the way, is your username a reference to Mack the Knife?

Actually the name is in refrence to a band by that name. Long since disbanded after the lead singer od'd. They were from the DC area. They were a funk metal band. I saw them live in NJ and I've always thought they were one of the coolest bands that never made it. I still have their self titled cd from 1991 and it's still one of my favorite cd's of all time. Youtube has 3 videos. If your interested search youtube for lucy brown band. Sound quality sucks but it'll give you an idea what they were about. The cd can be found on ebay.
