Fender should make a Squier affordable version of this. After all, kurt was into getting cheap guitars

They do that's why they do them sparingly because they sell. Like surf green, anything in surf green sells out whch is why they rarely use it to keep the demand for it there.
This guy could play Nigel in a Spinal Tap remake. _It's got more sustain because of no clear coat, and the knobs are in reverse_

Not to mention the Pawn Shop series a while ago like the Jaguarillo and the Mustang Special. Fender thinks the only guitars left handed people should play are Telecaster or Stratocaster. If Cobain was right handed their Cobain Jaguar would only be available in right handed version, that's the truth.

To be fair, Fender is friendlier to lefties than... well, pretty much every big name guitar maker there is. Though yes, the Cobain connection is the only reason why this Jag is available for lefties.

I like how he’s got the Kurt Cobain jaguar but in the style of Kurt’s fender mustang.
my dad had this super cool 64' jag that looked alot like that one but with single coils and it was olympic white
They should remake the competition mustangs again they are so beautiful
You can get a Fender Special Edition Jaguar HH in Daphne Blue from Musician's Friend. It's not exactly the same guitar but you can save a lot of cash and do some extra mods yourself if interested. I have one and it is really nice!
i have a 2017 mustang that now has new lil 59 sd bridge pickup and a buddha in the neck, cts pots, switchcraft jack, and hipshot bridge. still need locking tuners and a new nut. ahhh so good as it is right now, though!

I wonder if he replaced the nut with a bone nut since the stock nut is probably synthetic if its a MIM which if its the KC Jaguar, it should be unless, he had it on special from the Custom Shop.

I'm the same way with the lefty knob thing.
The Daphne Blue Finish Is almost the same, but the Kurt Cobain Mustang, was actually a Sonic Blue which Is minimally different, and sometimes more noticeable, It can be mistaken for the Daphne Blue Colour a lot
He should have put in some on board delays on the guitar. That will be cool

I taped both down at about 2 or 3 and used it for ebow only. I used the ebow on acoustic for years, so when I started using it on electric I was really put off by the huge volume boost when it gets near the pickups. I wasnt used to keeping it in a specific spot... I'd just slide it around to get different harmonics and volume. So with the vol and tone taped down it's super smooth. 😊
so you can wire the pot a different way and it will go from 0 to 10 in the other direction?
More sustain from no clear coat? Are you kidding me???

does the clear coat typically go on top of the nitro? or (whatever is may be)
@mxstegmeijer
Жыл бұрын
The nitro is the clear finish. But he did not want that on his guitar. These days fender uses polyuterane finish and that limids the sustain even more.
Does anyone know how to repaint an electric guitar like Ian Fowles has so that the guitar can naturally show the wear and tear without a clear protective layer? I’m overwhelmed by the options and have been trying to figure out how to do this or have it done for a while.
KILLER GUITAR!!!
OMG! EagleBones is emo! He played with Gerard Way!
Looks like the ideal guitar I wish Fender sold it (but for right handed :P )
I'm so glad he says Jaguar correctly
that swimmers shirt
He got his first when he was at a pals house and had a pre cbs against a wall. He knew it was good asked then ran to atm to get 20$ or some small amount and it was his first. Had a book. I could have got dozen suicide notes from that scrapbook. Like county £ did.
Would have been nice to hear it.

the world hates left handed guitar players. My dream is have a Jaguar Vintara, but simply doesn't exists LH models... This is sad, they should give more valor to us, left handed players! We are musicians too!!
“Made to be modded”? I don’t think so. I have a MIJ Jaguar Thinline: cannot buy the new bridge because it is a Custom shop guitar exclusive, I cannot find a mute kit with spring and screws... Fender don’t seem to be very helpful for people willing to mod their guitars, do they?
it's simply crazy a Made in Mexico guitar has to cost 1,400 euro (or 1,500 dollars) only for the Kurt Cobain name on it. And the amazing thing is Kurt didn't modified at all that guitar that was "customized" by another person :D

If Kurt's Jaguar and Kurt's Mustang had a child
I have one and such a cheap ass tremolo system. Nothing to replace it with. They are not tone switches. They are two on/off switches for the pickups and one bass cut.
"It has DiMarzio super distortion pickups" DiMarzio paf? 😢
you kinda sound like Krist Novoselic
EVERY KC (left handed) Jaguar i purchased (about 4 of them throughout the years) had TERRIBLE fret work. Like knives sliding up and down the fretboard. WHY!!!
Bare metal hurts fingers.
well had a Kurt model and now i want another one to tour with and How to get Ian Fowles model Cause being a left handed baas and guitar play for 25 years a copy of his guitar would shure make it so i only need that guitar For Shure.
