Epiphone ET-270 Vintage Electric Guitar.
A highly collectible vintage Epiphone ET-270 electric guitar, famously associated with Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, who used an ET-270 during the band's early Bleach-era performances in 1990.
This guitar features modifications similar to Cobain's instrument and shows authentic signs of extensive use, including marks, finish wear, and cosmetic aging consistent with its age and history.
