More Info
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 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.
A resonant wood known for balanced and lively tone that delivers a fat, punchy sound. Traditional Fender neck woods that deliver clarity and warmth with a vintage-style radius that is extra comfortable for chording. Shorter than Fender’s standard 25.5” scale length, the decreased string tension and shorter distance between frets makes playing easier. Classic single-coil tone and fat-sounding custom “tilted” humbucking pickups allow players to recreate the clean and dirty tones used by Kurt on Nirvana records. With a switch for each pickup, players are able to dial in up to four distinct combinations to find the perfect sound whether recording or performing live. An easy-to-use classic bridge and tailpiece set that sounds great and stays in tune.
