Chris Cornell owned and stage used Fender Jazzmaster. Cornell originally bought this guitar in 1993 and played it heavily throughout the 1993-1994 tours. Cornell sold this guitar, along with many others, to long-time friend Chris Bond. Bond was Cornell’s best friend growing up; they used to play music together at a very young age. When Susan Silver and Chris Cornell got divorced in 2004, Cornell wanted to demonstrate that his guitars had artistic value so he listed this Jazzmaster along with several other guitars in the court case. This 1966 Fender Jazzmaster Serial Number 000448 matches the court documents stated in Case Number 07-2-16253-4 King County, Washington, Superior Court. The guitar comes with the original touring guitar case. Comes with a letter of provenance from Chris Bond, an Appraisal Letter from River City Guitars for $150,000 and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
