Synopsis "About a Guitar"

Swapped pickups, refinished bodies, replacement necks: these, too, are part of Nirvana's story.About a Guitar - The History and Anatomy of Kurt Cobain's Guitars explores the instruments that accompanied Cobain, weaving together technical details, personal stories and key moments in the band's history.From his early Univox guitars to the "Vandalism" Stratocaster, from the Jaguar to the Competition Mustang, through to the Sky-Stangs and the Martin used on MTV Unplugged, each guitar opens a window onto a journey of live performances, experimentation, repairs and transformations.Inside, you'll find: The stories behind Cobain's most celebrated guitars and lesser-known instruments.Technical profiles covering construction, pickups, bridges, electronics and modifications.Timelines of documented appearances, with references to specific concerts.Stickers, finishes and signs of wear that help distinguish instruments often mistaken for one another.Anecdotes, firsthand accounts and sources for further research.Dario Fiorentino guides the reader with clarity and precision, distinguishing documented information from reconstructions that remain uncertain. Technical detail meets the stories of well-used instruments, adapted to the demands of the stage and woven into Nirvana's identity.A book for guitarists, collectors and fans who want to get to know these guitars up close-and see them with fresh eyes in the performances they love.
