So...this guitar. Most expensive ever sold at auction. Purchased by the owner of Rode Microphones.

There was some debate over this guitar - Frances Bean Cobain owned it and gave it to her (now ex) husband.

When they divorced, she asked for it back.

Judge said No...

The only things that irritate me about this whole torrid issue (aside from the stupidity of Frances Bean Cobain giving the guitar away as a marriage present and Courtney Love, generally), is that the whole guitar thing pretty much stopped Cobain's daughter's ex-husband Isiah Silva's band The Eeries dead in their tracks. 

They were on a sharp ascendency, possibly because of the Cobain connection and were (or perhaps still are), a wonderful band.
