Fender Introduces The Kurt Cobain Jaguar Guitar | Music

 

For the the 20th anniversary of the iconic Nevermind album of Nirvana,Fender® introduces one of its most distinctive signature models ever, the Kurt Cobain Jaguar®-meticulously modeled on the battered and highly unusual 1965 Jaguar that Cobain wielded during the heady early-’90s era when Nirvana ruled rock and led a musically stunning and culturally subversive movement.

Fender craftsmen have reproduced Cobain’s battle-hardened left-handed Jaguar down to the last unusual detail, including its worn finish, dual hum bucking pickups and unique electronics and controls (which were already in place when Kurt acquired the guitar in summer 1991).

Available in right- and left-handed versions.

  1. Ten bucks says you can't tell me what half of the guitar's features actually mean 😛
    All kidding aside, Cobain had a pretty shitty guitar sound, I pity the engineer who actually had to design this guitar so that it actually mimics the nirvana sound..

  2. LOl you could have bet more :)I guess Cobain was more of an icon and a rebel than an actual good guitar player, I think that's what makes this piece special 🙂

  3. Such a outstanding Guitar about JAGUAR! As a guitarist I always like this sort of Guitar which creates superb melody and whatever has been written up in here about this JAGUAR it's all are very true as well. So thanks for this article and i will look forward to see this site in near future as well. Thanks
