Kurt Cobain<\/strong><\/a> smashed this white Fender Stratocaster back in 1992 … and, now it’s smashing records — bringing in a whopping sum at auction!<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

Dylan Kosinski<\/strong> — president of popular music auction site Gottahaverockandroll<\/strong><\/a> — tells TMZ \u2026 Kurt\u2019s smashed guitar sold for $101,500 to a Texas collector when the auction closed yesterday.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The piece of music memorabilia sparked a bidding war on the site … with five people making a total of 11 bids before a winner was ultimately crowned.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n


\n<\/p>\n

\n

The minimum bid was $30K … so, the guitar brought in a whole heck of a lot more money than initially thought.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

As we told you … this guitar was smashed<\/strong><\/a> during Nirvana’s tour of Europe way back in ’92 — though it was restored to working order while the group was still on tour there.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The guitar was obtained by a crewmember who worked for Nirvana from 1991 to 1993 … and, it was later authenticated by Big John Duncan<\/strong> — a famous guitar tech known for his association with the band.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

While this isn’t the most a Cobain guitar has ever gone for — one of his axes that he used in the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” sold for $4.5 million<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

$100K ain’t peanuts though … certainly putting the seller into the “green spirit.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
