Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's daughter Frances Bean is seeking court intervention to try and get the veteran musician's guitar back from her estranged husband Isaiah Silva.
The 24-year-old artist has filed a lawsuit against Silva to return the instrument- famously played by her late father during Nirvana's 'MTV Unplugged' session- as she claims he has refused to give it back since she filed for divorce from him last year in March, reported TMZ.
According to the website, the daughter of actress-musician Courtney Love and the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" guitarist, who found dead of a gunshot wound sustained on April 5, 1994, wants the court to allow her to inspect the Cobain's guitar to ensure it has been kept in perfect condition by her estranged husband.
Frances is also planning to hand over it to an art shipping company for safekeeping until their dispute over the instrument is resolved.
A judge has yet to rule on her request.
