Pat Smear's Strat from the In Utero tour: link (the polka dot black strat named flopsy) it came shipped to me in Kurt's Daphne Blue Fender Mustang guitar case. from the auction description: "Pat played this guitar at most every show during Nirvana's 1993-1994 In Utero tour of North America and Europe. Around midway through the tour, Pat modified the look of this instrument, affectionately named 'Flopsy', using several different colors of nail polish and covering it with polka dots and smiley faces. This Mexican made Strat was sent to Pat by Fender early on during the U.S. tour. It has not been played since Nirvana's final European dates in 1994 and still has the strings and strap from its last performance." |

Back in I think it was 1996 Mark Pickerel had a private invitation only auction. I bought the Love Buzz & signed Bleach LP from him as well as the signed HSCN 7". I also bought a ton of signed Screaming Trees items from him. Plus an extremely rare copy of Touch me I'm Sick 7" on red vinyl. He told me there were only 5 copies ever made and he got it from Mark Arm in a trade for some rare Blues 78's. Mark used to own a record store in Ellensburg, WA called Rodeo Records (He may still, I don't know). The Mudhoney record does have Dan Peters playing drums which would be a Nirvana connection, but it doesn't matter to me. I just sent it as it's pretty cool and probably the rarest record I have. Not to mention it actually once belonged to Mark Arm ... |
