The guitar doesn’t just have sentimental value.
Frances Bean Cobain’s estranged husband, Isaiah Silva, claims she gave him her father’s Martin D-18E as a wedding present, TMZ reported.
Frances Bean Cobain has filed for divorce from Isaiah Silva.
TV3 reports that when TMZ caught up to Courtney at LAX, Love said that Frances didn’t give the guitar to Silva, and “never planned” on it as a wedding gift. Frances doesn’t agree, and she’s got her mom, Courtney Love, on her side. “It’s a treasured heirloom of the family”.
“It’s a treasured heirloom of the family”, Love told TMZ, whose rep cornered her on an escalator at Los Angeles International Airport.
Frances Bean, now 23, reportedly Wednesday Isaiah two years ago in a small ceremony in France attended by about a dozen friends.
The guitar is significant because it’s the instrument he used during his iconic MTV Unplugged performance in 1993.

Her divorce papers made it clear that he had no right to request money from her fortune – and it’s quite a sum; the former Nirvana frontman’s estate is valued at around $450million. “I’m glad she’s out of this risky and toxic relationship”, she added at the end of the brief interview. While her mother Courtney went for a vampish red plunge neck gown with a simple updo. It’s also the last guitar he used before committing suicide months later. At one time it was insured for $1 million and some believe it’s now worth millions. Cobain’s guitar is unique in that the left-handed grunge icon had it modified so that he “could play it upside down”.
