Fender Kurt Cobain Jag-Stang in Sonic Blue
All of Kurt Cobain's favorite features in one instrument
If you were one of the millions of obsessive Nirvana fans who frequently spun Nevermind and couldn't get enough of the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video, then you are very familiar with Kurt Cobain's favorite Fender Jaguar and Mustang guitars. He employed these guitars for several years, and they were instrumental in forming the sound of early grunge and alternative rock. The Jag-Stang offers the best of both worlds, taking Kurt's favorite features from each instrument and combining them into a single model. Its alder body delivers Nirvana's trademark guitar punch and power, with a shorter 24-inch scale for effortless playing. A fast maple neck capped with a 7.25-inch radius rosewood fingerboard offers everything you need for pulling off thick, chunky power chords across all 22 frets. The cherry on top is the vintage-style Mustang tremolo, which is perfect for adding subtle warbles and textures to single-note leads.
High-powered electronics take you to alternative rock's early days
The Jag-Stang is equipped with a powerful pair of pickups to handle the high-octane demands of its inspiration, and guitarists can attest: this rock-solid 6-string is contagious. Fender threw a custom Jag-Stang humbucker in the bridge, which pumps out waves of crunchy, full-bodied tone that recall the seminal '90s music scene. Flip over to the single-coil in the neck position, and you'll instantly bask in creamy, chimey cleans reminiscent of a Strat or a Tele. A pair of slide switches gives you complete control over all of the Jag-Stang's electronics, with all pickup switching handled from one and phase on-off settings from the other.
