The unassuming, slightly beat-up offset has quite the history, though – it happens to be the guitar that Kurt Cobain wielded in the none-more-iconic music video for Nirvana's earth-shattering smash hit, Smells Like Teen Spirit.  Even with that incredible history though, its eventual sale price of $4.5 million is quite staggering. Behind only one of Cobain's other guitars – the Martin D-18E he used during Nirvana's legendary Unplugged set – the Mustang is the second most valuable guitar ever sold at auction.
