Few artists in music history can be credited with changing the industry almost overnight and continuing to influence music culture three decades after the height of their popularity. Kurt Cobain and his Nirvana bandmates burst onto the scene in the early '90s as generational talents who combined raspy, heavy tones, punk-infused energy, and melodic hooks to create a sound that quickly attracted millions of fans. fans and established grunge and alternative rock as a genre with legitimate mainstream appeal.
Although Kurt has been 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 the "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 the help of the Fender Custom Shop in 1993.
Commemorating the 30th anniversary of Nirvana's seminal record "Nevermind", this Jag-Stang is 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 short 24" scale reduces string tension for easier playing, and the 7.25" radius rosewood fingerboard with maple neck delivers a comfortable feeling that won't tire your hands when tuning. Custom vintage-style single-coil and humbucker pickups are perfect for recreating Kurt's classic tones, while Mustang slider switches offer the ability to select four distinct settings for a variety of in- or out-of-phase tones.
