Opeth singer/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt once got to play a guitar owned by late Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain – and wasn’t at all taken with it.

Talking to Revolver, the frontman says that, along with fellow Opeth guitarist Fredrik Åkesson, he recently visited the Martin Guitars factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.
