Description
Legendary Kurt Cobain has influenced the music culture for over three decades. He created the Jag-Stang as a beautiful combination of his favorite Fender instruments; the Jaguar and the Mustang. Featuring vintage- style pickups and custom humbucking bridge pickups, the Jag-Stang allows players to recreate Kurt Cobain’s famous tone found on Nirvana records. With a switch for each pickup, the Jag-Stang lets players dial in up to four unique combinations to create the perfect sound for stage performances or recording. The shorter scale length makes playing easier with a smaller distance between frets. From the Manufacturer Few artists in music history can be credited with changing the industry nearly overnight and continuing to influence music culture three decades after the height of their popularity. Kurt Cobain and his bandmates in Nirvana appeared on the scene in the early ‘90s as generational talents who combined raucous, heavy tones, punk-infused energy and melodic hooks to create a sound that quickly attracted millions of fans and established grunge and alternative rock as a genre with legitimate mainstream appeal. Although Kurt was seen playing a variety of Fender guitars over the years, his Fender Jaguar® and Mustang® remain the most iconic due to their use on the “Nevermind” tour and “Smells Like Teen Spirit” music video. Kurt designed the Jag-Stang® to combine his favorite elements of both instruments and brought it to life with help from the Fender Custom Shop in 1993. Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Nirvana’s seminal record “Nevermind,” this limited-edition Jag-Stang comes equipped with the same features that made it Kurt’s ideal instrument. The alder body delivers a punchy tone perfect for big power chords, the 24” short-scale reduces string tension for easier playing, and the 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboard with maple neck has a comfortable feel that won’t fatigue your hands when chording. The vintage-style single-coil and custom humbucking pickups are perfect for recreating Kurt’s classic tones, while the Mustang slider switches provide the flexibility to dial in four distinct settings for a variety of in or out-of- phase tones.

Should I Buy It?
If you're a fan of its unique sound, especially for playing Nirvana covers, and don't mind potentially needing to make adjustments or repairs, this guitar could be a good addition. However, considering the price point and reported quality control issues, it's worth weighing whether the charm and sound of the guitar outweigh the possible need for initial setup and tweaks. Shoppers looking for a guitar that's ready to play straight out of the box might want to consider other options.
