💚Courtney Love💚
(Green Mercury, I've heard rumors that the guitar was stolen, lost, destroyed, does anyone know what happened to it?, Courtney never talked about what happened to the guitar).
(By the way, I found on the internet that Courtney's guitar was painted with the same automotive paint that was used to paint Mercury cars, The creators of the guitar, Tim George n' Danny Babbitt, wanted their guitars to have a bright and unique color so they used this same paint, I also found out that the guitar was originally for Kurt Cobain, but he rejected it or wasn't interested because he was left-handed and the guitar was for someone right-hande, It is said that Courtney used the guitar for about a year and a half or two, then the guitar was stolen, destroyed, stored or lost.
Supposedly the name of the guitar comes from the name of the Mercury car brand. Courtney used and mistreated the guitar quite a bit during this time period, so it is also said that the neck of the guitar broke and it was discarded, there are different theories about what happened to the guitar, I guess the only person who has an answer to this question is Courtney).
So if you're Courtney Love I'd like to ask, what happened to the Green Mercury guitar? 💚🍀
(The moment Courtney saw the guitar she liked it and bought it, Tim George and Danny Babbitt sold it to her although originally her plan was to sell it to Kurt but this did not happen, It is said that there were plans to make a guitar especially for Kurt).
(The Mercury guitar is inspired by Rickenbacker guitars).
I'm talking about this guitar because I love it, ever since I saw it I fell in love completely, I loved the color and the body, I had seen many guitars before but never one like this, No one else had this guitar, I can't think of Courtney and not think of the guitar.

Courtney would seem to be wearing a Fender Venus, it would be a collaboration.
(These photos are from 1995 and Courtney acquired the Mercury guitar in 1994 so she only had the guitar for about a year).

Courtney Love collaborated with Fender and created the Squier Venus.
