Frances Bean Cobain has reportedly been forced to give up her father’s 1959 Martin D-18E acoustic guitar — one of the late Nirvana frontman’s most celebrated instruments due to its use on Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged special — to her ex-husband in a divorce settlement.

Isaiah Silva, a fledgling musician in a band named The Eeries, has been battling for the guitar since mid-2016, claiming that Frances Bean gave him the instrument as a wedding present.

Courtney Love countered this, telling reporters the guitar is ““a treasured heirloom of the family…it’s not [Silva’s] to take…. We’re very close, and Frances never planned on doing that.”

Well, that’s a romantic gesture gone wrong!

Although Silva was awarded the guitar, you can bet this isn’t the last we hear about this.
