it was a concert i believe in late 93 or early 94? its an acoustic guitar but kinda sounds like an electric when he played it.


Answer
It was an acoustic/electric, but the reason it sounded SO electric was beacuse Kurt was so used to hearing his music though his Fender at the time, he needed to use his same amp and effects pedals he used with the Fender to get the sound right.

It was an acoustic/electric Martin model D-18E.
here's the guitar:

It's really rare. Only like 500 were ever made.

What would you say is the best type of guitar?

Q. Right now I have a huge, acoustic, Johnson guitar, and I'm thinking about getting an electric one. Which is the best brand and why do you say so?


Answer
There is really no "best brand." I would strongly suggest to you that you go to your local guitar shop (we have here Guitar Center, a really nice store) and play different guitars. Feel them, and see how well it fits your needs and how well it sounds. It's not like, Sony is a good brand, so go buy a Sony Television. There aren't one or two brands that are good, there are hundreds. Because guitars vary so much in style of play (for example do you play heavy metal, rock, chill, distorted, alternative, etc) it's hard to say which brand to pick. Every style has its makers. Ultimately you have to experiment with them.

However, I can refer you to this website:

Every year, these guys pick the best instruments and vote for a winner. And it seems "Fender Road Worn Series" were excellent electric guitars this year.
