The dancer Desha in Fokine ballet by Maurice Goldberg

This white Fender Stratocaster showed up in Kurt’s arsenal in late 1991. It was most likely Japanese, featured white finish, rosewood neck, and two stock single-coil pickups. The original bridge pickup was replaced with a white Seymour Duncan Hot Rails. The guitar survived the 1992 MTV Music Awards and appeared once again at the end of a show played in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October of 1992 where Kurt smashed it. It was then repaired (new neck, pick guard, etc.) It’s last appearance was on 9/11/92 at the Seattle Center Coliseum show. It’s currently on display at the EMP’s dedicated Nirvana exhibit in Seattle.
