>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> He didn't smash the Martin acoustic that

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kurt actually used this practice even after he

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Well; that's because he was left-handed and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> left-handed guitars
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> are more expensive and harder to find.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Not for a rich rock star! He could and did have

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Unplugged was right handed to.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Well; Fender made them on their own and made some
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> money
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> off of them! I think that the only thing Kurt got out

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'll have to go back and look at the Martin again.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> From what
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I've heard, it's a D-18e (e for electric) and was

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was one of the very first acoustic electrics and it

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> a clunky lookin job, even for the 50's. But,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> whether or not that's all true, it IS a Martin and
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> it was borrowed and by

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> sayin, that'd
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> be like smashing a ummmmmmmm something really
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> expensive!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yup...a D18-E. Kurt did own it though...actually

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> (59), bought at Voltage Guitar in Los Angeles in the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> fall of 1993. The D-18E was one of Martin's earliest

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> acoustic but with two pickups, three control knobs
